Trail 5 climbs through Mt Butler and passes Quarry bay where we saw multiple abandoned cars, even 1 that was toppled over. Probably a body dumping site. Someone should look it up. Trail 6 passes through scenic Tai Tam reservoir and was a very easy walk down way.
2 hours down and 2 dropped out after trail 6. 5 left and we walked through trail 7 which was literally a walk by a large drain...the whole bloody way.
It wasn't scenic at all and it was such a long walk that I was given a chance to contemplate my life aspirations of taking up a job as a cashier. Some day. I kid you not. Tristan thinks I should get this out of my system, it's that bar code thing that never ceases to amaze me. However, Dan brought up a very worrying trend of self check-out machines that I have seen all over London as well. We figured that there may be less job opportunities in the future as machines pave their way to replacing human manpower. Again.
At the end of trail 7, 1 dropped out and then there were 4. By now, our legs were aching but we were just starting the famous Dragon's Back trail. This is one of my favourite trails, as it never fails to impress. There were people paragliding down the mountain. One day, I will be one of those.
My legs ached the whole of next day and unfortunately I was on call. Lets just say that it was worth all the pain.
After all, as we all know, "no pain, no gain".
