Yesterday I hiked with some mates up the highest mountain in our region. Just over 1,200m high, and was about a 10km trip up and back. It took us 4 hours to get to the top. It just about friggen killed me, but the view was soooo worth it. Not sure if you guys know what wait-a-while is, but it's a vine that spreads like crazy and looks like this:

It hurts like a b***h. The mountain was half covered in it. Also, there was no track, we followed bits of pink tape tied to trees. It was pretty fun to be going through bush following bits of pink, if not a total inconvenience xD
So, pics to show the adventure:
The start!

scrub I'd have loved that, I really enjoy hiking with friends smile I've never been anywhere like that either, although I've been to a few different countries, the trees and stuff in that forest almost look like they belong in a jungle to me. On mountains I enjoy the bits where it gets really rocky so you have to start climbing up and over stuff and up small rock faces. When I was younger I'd run ahead of the other up mad routes and then have to find one that the rest of the group, cept a few who could climb like me, could actually get up razz There is always some plant that's prickly where ever I go though mad it usually winds up inexplicably inside my boots or something.
This is another reason why you should move to Australia and marry me. We can go hiking together!
Lychee: It's not snake season xD I did fall though! Quite a bit when I was on the way down, it was very slippery in some parts, and almost vertical xD

de.Lici.ous Aquila15 It looks like it was awesome. I'd love to go hiking, but my friends aren't the outdoors type sad And as always Lici, your legs are awesome 8D
~Nya-ha!~ blaugh Most of mine aren't either, it annoys me so much. My one friend who's outdoorsy and as spontaneous as me is moving away in two weeks 'cause he got a job somewhere else. I'm really bummed about that ):
Aww that sucks! Sorry to hear that sad This is my final summer before I begin my last year of uni so I wanted to do something brilliant, but all of my friends are getting summer internships and stuff so they won't have time off. Plus, I have some friends who can't have a trip away without involving alcohol so that's also a bother. SUITES CAMPING MEET UP biggrin
~Nya-ha!~ blaugh
