Cathy's Voyaging
Hi all,
After a couple of lazy days, I thought I should put me and the trekking gear to the test before Friday, so I've trekked up to the Peace Pagoda. A 4km walk around the lake to Damside to start, then a 2 hour hike up through a chestnut forest to the Pagoda at 1330m or so. Then down the other side through a jungle (with monkeys), a row across the lake, and a 2km or so meander back up the lakeside. Both me and all the gear seem to have stood the test - and it was a beautiful walk - peaceful and with incredible views even with the dry season haze.

On the lake, we rescued a couple of stricken French kayakers so I have a glow of righteousness
