Spring Hall, St Lucy #24

Quite an improvement in the weather this week, instead of overcast skies it was a lovely, hot, bright sunny afternoon. Starting off from the old Spring Hall, sugar factory traveling through canefields, and along the flat trail along the cliff top giving an excellent vantage point of the rugged north east coast of the island coming to an area known as Cove Bay, turning inland and uphill after a stop for some coconut water fresh from a tree along the way. This enjoyable hike lasted a distance of 8.3 miles.
Bringing the total distance so far for the year to 174.9 miles

Haggatts, St. Andrew #23

This hike was expected to be challenging, as it was to be lead by a hike leader known to find difficult routes...But my bad run of luck for this week ran right into this hike and I had to abandon the journey to assist some of the fellow hiker who weren't up to the challenge and could not continue the journey...it was a tough decision should I leave them to get lost or should I help them..in the end the softer side of me won and I was only able to complete a mere 3.5 miles my only consolation being that the first climb through the water course and up the hill was enjoyable
Total so far for year 166.6

Bath, St. John Hike #22

On a hot bright sunny afternoon, a welcomed change from the previous Sundays when it was overcast or rainy or both, we set off on a journey through the parish of St. John. This trip started with a steep uphill on a chalky surface which was a bit challenging for some. This route intersected with routes taken of previous journeys but still seemed fresh, with excellent views of the coastline, taking in the natural beauty of the island, as we passed by Codrington college, The Holy Cross Church, The St. John parish church and down hill through New Castle and Martins Bay along the coast to finish at Bath beach for a journey of approx 7.1 miles
Total for year approx 163.1 miles

Hike #21 St Thomas Hall Post Office

Overcast conditions could not deter us from bringing up the 150 mile mark. This was supposed to be a moonlight hike, but the cloud cover won the battle and blocked the view of the moon. But that didn't stop the enjoyment of the hike through the parish of St. Thomas climbing over fences, gates uphill and down hill, while enjoying fresh air, the sounds of nature. Even a night time trek through the Welchman Hall Gully was most enjoyable.
This hike covered a distance of approx 7 miles
Total Distance so far :156 Miles
