My, what big hills you have

Went for a hike this morning before lunch. It started out as a walk for mixed media and ended in me scaling the mountain. (I say "mountain" because, technically, it is, but really they're more like big hills.)

Things I did to get to the mountain:
climbed over a wall
through blackberry bushes and hazelnut trees (45 mins) - very scratched.
through some ferns and blackberry bushes
up a steep wild grass and fern and rock field
Over a barbed wire fence
up very steep layers of limestone (actually pretty easy)
more wildflowers, more ferns, can't see where I'm stepping
More trees. Sticker bushes! more blackberries
more rock
rock, rock, flowers, rock
wind.
Great views!:




One the way back I went:
over two rock walls
through some sticker bushes
through a cow field
Through another cow field since I couldn't get out of the first one
over a fence.
(I clearly have no regard for any sort of boundary lines)

Also, are cows supposed to be skittish? I find it wierd that I can walk up to a wild donkey and pet it and feed it, but woooahh, don't get within 20 feet of a cow!

  1. I think it's all the early training you had with your family that made you able to conquer the mountain.

    And I love it when you use lists to convey experiences. It's funny, it sounds like you, and it's actually quite effective!
