Bring sturdy hiking boots, make sure they do not give you blisters. If you have not worn them before, wear them to school for a day and see if they are comfy. The hike is 7.3km and 1550m elevation gain. There is a small bit of scrambling leading to an awesome 360 degree panorama view. The trail is quite steep in parts. We will start the hike at 8:30am, and be back in the evening. Bring sufficient food. Remember there are no garbages on the trail. Leave no trace and pack out what you pack in!
