This trail will orientate the uninitiated to what its like to trek a leech infested, thick undergrowth and almost unmarked trail. It is not for inexperienced hikers. Not for tourists with teva sandals, bermudas or shorts. You will get fed on by an army of leeches akin to the zombies in george romero's night of the walking dead. They are slow, but they will find you, and they will suck you. At certain parts of the trail just standing at a place for too long and you will start to notice the leeches start to make their way towards you. That being said... if you think your kid is too much part of the strawberry generation, too pampered and lacking in the outdoors department, this hike will set things right. We liked it for the challenging terrain and the cool air. But the pressure of the leeches kept us from staying at a spot for too long. If you smoke, good for you. Very effective. Also suggested: carry a small spray bottle and carry brine water to soak your socks at the ankles, as well as to spray on the leeches to make them detach. Thick socks and long trekking pants are an absolute must and be prepared to get a few bites. We came prepared but they get into every corner. Suggest you buy garters or duct tape and seal your sock/pants gap.

This was the third and most challenging of the three trails we did on the day. There was quite a few fallen structures and the trail is very narrow. The ground was muddy and quite loose making ascending some slopes very challenging. The upside was I leech free and only one managed to latch onto my husbands leg. This trail needs some maintenance very badly as it is quite a dangerous track.
