Itinerary description

Starting the morning with a soak in the hot springs, we were definitely at the same temperature as the sun for this hike. Classed as difficult for the elevation in the distance with the heat being at lower altitude again.

A day of pure uphill. The official trail is easily missed as there are not many signs to get on it - but signs to continue the majority of the time once on it...

Most side tracks that look like local’s shortcuts are the paths to take.

Many steps throughout the day - of all shapes and sizes!

N.B. This is being done with my 69 year young mother who is fit but not altitude nor long trek fit.
