Ha Ling Peak: Eight

After a week of being miserably sick, I got over-excited and decided to head up Ha Ling again after work. The trail is nice and clear now, but I’m finding it harder and harder to get enough oxygen when I’m heading uphill (all of a sudden my stomach has expanded up to the bottom of my ribcage, and my lungs have their work cut out for them providing enough air for two of us – 31.5 weeks along, so around seven months down, two to go).

So it wasn’t record-breaking, but still a nice hike. Fifteen other people on the trail, and one cheeky squirrel that ran to the end of his tree to get a better look at me.
