  This is a nice hike, easy and short, (only the access to the side of the hill/cliff is a little bit more demanding). It is mainly flat and it is good for hiking but also running. During the hot season, very high temperature is to be expected considering that there is almost no shade along the trail. Don't forget water and a cap.The trail is quite obvious on large stretches but the access to the top of the cliff is not materialized and the Wikiloc app made wonder keeping me on the right track.
  The access to the beginning of the trail is a bit difficult, (it is located in what looks a bit like a shanty town in some places) and parking can be a challenge. The use of Waze app really helped a lot finding the start of the trail and even more coming back from it. There are nice and interesting viewpoints over the valley.

  I've done this trail today, but combined it with nearby trail "Lassa". That way, it's a bit longer and has a nicer starting point.
  
  It was interesting to walk around the area and see what farmers are growing. It took us a while before we realised it were a lot of peanut plants. But we also saw beans, ocra and other vegetables along the way.
  
  The sounds are quite strange. It's nice and quite in the hills, but at the same time, you have all the sounds from the town. Lots of music and also the imans calling.
  
  The track is not always very clear as it's sometimes quite overgrown or moved due to farming, but still easy enough to find as it's the only track around. It's too bad it's not a circular tracks, but otherwise easy enough to do.
