Crack & Mudslide

 
It was basically up the crack and down the mudslide... :)
Unfortunately we went up the crack and down the crack. The Mudslide was closed due to major damage to the paths.



Crack and Muslide was 1 amazing trip. The wheather was not that grand. It was ideal for hiking but not to view sceneries. I think after doing this hike in that weather i am ready for Kilimanjaro :)

Unfortunately we were unable to go down the mudslide due to the track been closed. A boulder rolled down the track taking out the main chain ladder to get down the mountain as well as the rest of the track. Should we have continued we would have been stranded in the middle of nowhere!

Favourite spots:
Walking along the cliff and climbing the chain ladder.

What's really great:
The group we went with made it exciting. they were game for everything and manged quite well. Better than i expected :)

Sights:
The drive to the park where the hike begins is quite breathtaking.

Accommodations:
We stayed at a lodge called Sir Harris Lodge. It is aproximately 45 minutes away from the actual hiking trail.
