STEEP

Went on a trip with some coursemates to the Thousand Steps in Dandenong last Monday.


Despite the weather being
COLD
WINDY
GLOOMY
DISCOURAGING.

Despite the Kokoda track being
CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE.

Despite the alternative route being
STEEPER
SLIPPERY
MUDDY.

We reached the 'kinda'-summit.

So in the end the original aim of conquering the Kokoda trail and enjoying the view from the summit was scrapped while the secondary aims of the day . . . . say, taking pictures and a nice BBQ took centrestage.


What started as a healthy hiking trip ended with a BBQ spelling gluttony.

This shows the distance between me (and a few others, ok?) and the leading group. Well, there are a few more pictures which show a greater distance, but the people were so tiny that all you can see will probably be trees. Yes, that was how slow I was. Or, in another way, how steep that trail was. I know you all would probably agree to the former reason more. >:-P

This is the 'summit' we reached.

This is the only official group picture I got in my camera but look at the satisfaction on everyone's face. Shows how steep and hard the climb was.

*Ahem* Now let me remind you again. It was a STEEP hike.
