Today I went on my first AWA (American Womens Association) "easy hike". And it was, relatively speaking. Just a small group of 10 women who managed to get themselves to Tai Tam Country Park for 8.15am on a morning that seemed just ideal for a hike. There was a slight chill in the air as we set off (well, OK...not exactly a chill but it was cold enough to want to wear a fleece which I think is a pretty momentous occasion here) but as we began to lengthen our stride, the fleeces came off. The majority of this walk echo'd the one that Alan and I did a few weeks ago and it was quite nice to tread a familiar path. I know that I would have wanted to slow my pace and stop more to admire the view (and take photographs of course) if it had been my first time around but as it was, I was quite happy simply hiking. Once we reached the end of the trail and we said our goodbyes I managed to navigate my first HK bus and find my way back to Wanchai and home and I have to admit that it felt rather good walking back into the apartment at 11.15am with a 5 mile walk under my belt and the rest of the day ahead of me. I will do that again.
Thanks for share!
