Contour Path from Constantia Nek to Newlands Forest on 16 July 2011

Yes, its Monday and the body still has little aches and pains. Gosh I am even discovering muscles that I never knew I had :-).

At Melanie, the next time (which I seriously doubt) please KEEP IT REAL!!!! Don't tell us it's an easy flat walk just for us to discover we have to climb hundreds of steps all the way to the *@^# top!!..(sommer getting tears in my eyes just thinking of it)...The only view I got of the entire hike was at home, looking at the pictures taken.

Yes, it was lekker being out in the fresh air surrounded by nature, but even though the walking was good, the climbing over the rocks was even better, downhill was the bomb BUT climbing those steps up and up and up and uuuuppppp, nearly killed me!!!. The PPAAAIINNN, hearing my own heavy breathing, feeling my heart pounding in my throat....

Thanks Heidi for your support. At one stage I promise you all I wanted to just lie down and cry myself to sleep. I even asked Heidi how the @#&(#&@) they rescue people up in the mountains but you know what??? There was no turning back so either way I was scr#&$ed!! (excuse the language but this is how it was for me). So up and up I went with a heavy heart!

Eventually after hours on the friggin mountains, we got to Newlands Forest where we braaied and chilled for the rest of the day. The time spent with family and friends were awesome.

Don't know so lekker about the next one though!!
