The walk was actually named Parrots Peak but James refused to refer to it as that.
(The Parrots peak is the small peak just above Sarah at the right)
The peak is 982 Meters above sea level, now bearing in mind our hostel was on the beach that means you have to climb 982 meters to get to the top, however the 982 meters are climbed in 6 km of trail that's only 3.5 miles, a very steep climb!
The walk is a 6 - 7 hr round trip, that was like a red rag to a bull for us.
After we scaled the sumit in 2 hr 05 mins we knew we were going to be quick!
(this is the town the first photo on the blog was taken)
At the top we met a couple of German guys who were sat eating their lunch and had arrived 5 or 10 minutes before Sarah and I.
We left the summit first and after about 10 minutes heard them behind us, we decided the race was on, so we started running down the mountain to see who would get down first!
Unfortunately for us Sarah bladder meant the Germans caught us and overtook about half way down!! A little despondently we finished the downhill walk in 1 hr 45 that meant we had round tripped in about 4 hr 15.
