We started off by crossing the big dam and set off in the hopes of making a complete circuit. Another team had set off in an anti-clockwise direction and we hoped to meet on the bridge at the far end for lunch. Water levels were high and there was an impressive waterfall coming over the over flow.

It was a bit windy once out of the forest, but it turned into a stunner of an autumn day. The skies were blue and the sun hung low in the sky all day.

It was well past lunchtime when we reached the bridge at the end. We almost turned back, as it looked too far to go, but decided to keep going once we saw that we were going to beat the other team!

Once fed, we crossed over and made our way back along the other side.

There was loads of lichen hanging from the trees and the forest got so dense at one point that it almost went dark.
