WHEN IT RAIN, NOT NECESSARY MEANS THE GROUND WILL BE SLIPPERY

It is not easy to organise an event.  I was told to post up an event on facebook for a hiking trip to tabur west .
The event was posted weeks ago and inviations was sent out accordingly. I purposely  put it as a closed event, with a few friends as admin .whereby we only invited those people who are keen and quite sure of attending.
A few of my friends confirm their attendance, and I was comfortable with the numbers. Then just a few days before the event one of them had a fall, and so could not make it. Another one sent me a message saying he is down with flu  .I got the message on thursday, but the event is on saturday. surely he would have recover by then right? Coincident or what?  One of my niece also indicated she wanted to join me on this trip and was very excited about it and even post it on her status on facebook.  Then came the bad news. Since it rained on Friday she text me saying her dad would not allow her to go now due to the heavy rain. I called up my brother in law giving him the assurance I would take good care of his daughter,but he would not change his mind. His reasons was the trails might be slippery. What?  This is rock/quaz hill , how can it be slippery? All he had to do was to ask and I could have told him. Anyway my friends manage to get some of his friends to join and there was a good turn out today.
It was a good trip. The ground was dry , it was as if it never rain at all on the hill top.
However for first timer it would be good if you get  know more about this hill. you may read about  safety here


The trail was dry as ever
