So we are ready, lets go on this adventure guys, lets do it👍🙌...i got some friends here on this adventure too.
The view from the top was wonderful!...beautiful landscape on a date with nature
Climbing it wasn't easy, the elevation of the mountain is 532M, it took me about 30mins to get up there, and the terrain was steepy as the sun was brimming on me, and sweat came rolling down my body. But when I got to the top, they was this cool breezed that made me feel alive again, I was thirsty when I got to the top, because I drank water on my way up the mountain with elevation of 532 Metres, thickly vegetated with big trees and shrubs, animals like monkey,antelope, snakes too those were the animals i saw but they ran away when they saw me😱😂😂
I could hear rustling sound coming from a far, i was now wondering what it might be. I just had to move to the direction of the sound, guess what? It was a spring, water coming out from the rock
I took a sip from this spring it was refreshing,cool and clean, felt like bathing in it. But it was a source of water to that community. So i washed up and dry my face and body with my hand towel...
It was time to go down, i was scared because it was steepy down to the bottom!, i almost freaked out, just then a thought came in💡 instead of falling down the mountain, why dont you use your butt and climb down😂?.. Well i had no choice but to do it, and down all the way with my butt, pheeeew! What an adventure i was having😘... Omg! I forgot my wristwatch ⌚while washing up, there is no way am going up there, so tired and famished!!! See you in the next episode of My adventure at imokpa mountain as we unravel the mystery.
