Mission Nagalapuram/9
Peter Van Geit
Here we go –
After deadly Nagala/4 and exhaustive Nagala/6 here comes Nagala/9 – mission to the dark side of the moon.
After two relaxing 1-day’s Nagala/7 (Vivek) and Nagala/8 (Ramki) get ready for another though mission deep inside the mysterious Nagalapuram jungle.
Nagala/9 will be a modified Nagala/6 where this time we will go where no-one has gone before – we will approach the central 800m peak from the back (Northwestern side) through a yet unexplored valley. We will explore places yet unseen by human kind.
The jungle will be dense, the slopes will be steep, the bushes will be thorny, the rocks will be slippery, the water will be cool and refreshing, body and mind will be pushed beyond previous known limits, the views will be mind blowing, life will never be the same after experiencing Nagala/9.
Let it be clear that this will be a very though one – distance and terrain – trekking, climbing, wading through pools, crawling through dense thorny bushes. Only experienced trekkers are welcome. Once you enter there is no turning back.
We start on Friday evening 9pm at TIDEL and follow our usual pickup route through the city (refer invitation below). We will camp at the base of the hill and start Saturday at the crack of dawn. The brave soldiers will not return until Sunday evening. It will take courage, thirst, hunger, exhaustion, sweat, scratched arms and legs, pain and team-work to complete this mission.
