We started out at the bottom by a river and header up to some caves. It was a steep slope up to the caves over a really short distance which made things tough.
Once we had gotten to the top runners were running past us on these mountains, we thought they were crazy, but they thought the same about us with our huge backpacks.
After a short break we went along the mountain side to get across a gorge that split between the 2 mountains. Once in the crossing we were able to see some lovely rock formations and vegetation.
Nearing the end of day one, we were all very tired and our feet were quite sore, but happily we said that we would do it all again if we had to.
Tomorrows post will have day 2.
