Overcast conditions greeted a huge crowd of walkers and the cloud cover provided a bit of reprise from the normal January heat. Recent rains had started to green up the area and Boera was a great choice to start a new year of walking.
Leaving the village, we headed straight away to the top of the nearby hill which holds the old gun emplacements from World War Two. Anecdotal stories say that this was the only gun fired in anger during the conflict and the enemy in question was an island nearby...
Since it has been some time between visits to Boera, I was shocked by the development of the LNG Project nearby. This was just on the drawing board the last time I walked these hills so it was a little sad to see what progression had occurred.
The first two hills were okay, but then hill climbs 3 and 4 were pretty nasty as the sun was really starting to fire up. Even my personal junior guide looked to me for some water....
The beers back at Konebada Resort went down a treat. Oh and so did the lobsters and prawns! Yumyumyumyum!
