Remember how I said it was deathly strenuous to get to the top? This was at one of the many peaks. The carving on the stone says Brightness Top 1660m.

What I didn’t mention was, even though it was tough climbing up, it was painful climbing down!

In our own world of anguished legs, it felt like we were miserable alone.

In fact, the best part of it?
