After a lengthy much-needed vacation off the rock, I returned and easily convinced Paul to accompany me on another hike.  We knew this one would be relatively easy but ... but it was still great to get out on this lovely day. Before setting out, we did a bit of four wheel driving in Frog and some exploration around the tree farm behind which this walk started.

We made the hike a bit more interesting than would happen by sticking to the main track ... which is essentially comprised of various old mining access roads, in various states of disrepair.  We hiked up one of the early hills tot he nearby windmill farm and found a great set of views and worked up a sweat.  Afterwards, it was all downhill to we finally recrossed the N'Go river which we first saw where we left Frog.
