The Path to Hell's Gate
We lead where others follow.
Pushing, crawling under fallen tree's, traversing rivers and a hard push up steep hills (Hell's gate)...we did it all. The worse was when the rain started to fall and the surface got very slippery and one by one the guys started to fall of there bikes. It was like a romaniacs race there where all sort of obstacle along the way. But it was the fun of it that mad everyone smile! you dont get this kind of adventure anywhere els.
Never the less we had to decide to go on or not, turning back was an option going on was not. The trail was almost at its end but it does connect to a wider path headed for Ranau. As much fun as it was it was a disappointment to us to turn back after assessing all the safety and logistics. But we will be back to take this hells gate and be batter prepared for the unforseen obsticals ahead. The bikes did there part, taking us this fare was more than we expected it is just the time, water and food we didnt have.The villages was accomodating by even offering us to stay at there homes for the night.
