    Thank you Meetupees for your confidence & tolerance in this dumb guide. Once the ribbons were out of sight, I was so scared to lead you to no where?! The harder the route, the more excitement and fun! Have a sound sleep to you all!

Who attended?

    • “ Luckily it did not rain. My umbrella has functioned as my walking stick :) I understand that Galia did not have a proper lunch as she had to find the way before the scheduled meeting time. Thanks to Galia! ”
    • “ It was one humid adventure... it saved me the ticket for the sauna... great views, slow ascent... huffing and puffing... didn't I eat or sleep enough???... it seemed like never ending. Perhaps I deserved it this time... but good to have done it. What's next???? ”

      “ Was abit of en epic - longer and harder than I expected from the start time and the description.... but it was fun and I'm glad I went. Thanks for organising Galia - and finding the way (eventually......!) ”
    • “ it was very very tough very very slippery but a great experience! Yet again the people were really nice and friendly and being outdoors was great. Thank you to everyone who arranged this walk ”
    • “ amazing especially since it was my first hike. well planned out and very punctual. every one was very friendly and helpfull. ”

      “ I think the rated should be changed to 3.5/5, because the humidity was very high. This route is really fresh for me, it's very challenging because the sand are so loose and wet, but the view is so beautiful. And I don't feel unsafe because Galia has enough experience to guide us. Also I want to uphold Evan and Tommy, they are really take care us. Thank you so much, my friend and I are all enjoy this activity. ”
