NOT JUST ANOTHER HIKE

Today is a public holiday and instead of resting at home, seven crazy adventurers deceided to explore the illusive Tabur X or extreme as some hikers refer to call it. My trip back to my hometown this week besides to attend one of my friend's wedding was also to explore this hill which I heard so much about but have yet to try. So I arrange with one of my hiking friend who had gone there once to lead the way.
We had no problem going up the hill until nearer to the hill when he could not remember where the correct trail was and we went round and round looking for the correct route. We had to pass through thick undergrowth, which was too much for the girls. Two of them could not take it and have to
  gave up and went down hill to wait it out, while the rest of us continue with our hike to search for the entrance to the ilusive hill. After more than an hour and with not much success  we all agreed to call it a day when one of the member came running to inform us  he had found the correct track as it  was a proper trail, not like the ones we went through earlier. Later we discovered he found the trail by accident when he was there to 'ease himself' . The saying when you fail, try, try again is so true in this case.
Also the road to success is never easy.Had we gave up and went home we would not have the joy to enjoy the view at the top of the hill.
moral of the story? Don't give up .If you give up too soon you will not be able to enjoy the end result.


Here are some of the photos for your enjoyment.
