Indian Ground - Hike #27

With constant rains in the morning and throughout the day, the prospects of a hike seemed a bit remote and I was even thinking, maybe i should give it a miss since we hiked that area in March of this year. But the hiker in me said no and I didn't regret it even though our island Barbados is small this route was totally different from the one taken in March. With some nice hills and scenery covering areas such as Greenland, Cherry tree hill, Farley Hill park Just to mention a few.
The only challenged experience during the 6.7 mile journey was the mud which made the uphill climbs a bit slippery and a tad harder having to walk with the mud on the boots.
Total Distance covered for year 195.6 Miles

Codrington College - hike #26

I can almost call this hike the religious hike as we started at Codrington College the institute of theological learning in Barbados, then stop at the Holy Cross church, St. John Parish church and the Pot House enclave of the Rastafarian movement.
This hike was a somewhat balanced mixture of uphill and downhill and provided excellent views of the country side from Ragged point to the right to Tent Bay on the left. And a chance to see one of the few remaining sun dials on the island
Another excellent hike covering 6.3 miles
Total so far for year 188.9 Miles

Wildey - Hike #25

This hike started at the historic great house that is now the headquarters of the Barbados National Trust and was a hike with a difference in that instead of tracks, bushes, fields and gullies it was in an urban/suburban setting passing car dealerships, hardware stores and houses but with some points of interest along the way such as the Harry Bailey observatory, the newly constructed south coast boardwalk, the military cemetry, the clock tower of the Legion, St. Anns fort and the Garrison Savanah as well as some costal scenery.
Being a moonlight hike not many photo opportunities were available, but an enjoyable hike never the less covering a distance of 7.7 miles
Total distance to date 182.6 miles
