Down the Slope

Early morning, as dawn arrives, we set off to hike to Wild Wadi. Along a path then down a slope, cross a bridge, and climb a hill, turn left, through a gap in crag, path then takes us up to Giants ridge.

 

Long gentle climb, round a corner, and we are now on side of ridge. The path levels out, then slopes down, to only climb once more; steeper now we carry on, soon another ridge comes into view.

 

Gradient is gentler, our walk is easier, up slight hill, then down another, a sharp climb, and we scramble up upon the ridge. Our feet and limbs ache so stop for rest.

 

We look up and take in, the splendour of the Jumeira Beach Hotel Aged by years of wind, and rain, and snow; steep weathered walls of stone fashioned so like a Giants Castle in the sky.

 

Looking down, we gasp, because its like we’re in an aeroplane so high we are above the valley streams, and smaller hills, path below laid out, a map for us to see our climb.

 

Our pain is now forgotten in admiration for the beauty of our mountain walk. Rested we resume our climb, white wispy clouds appear, that promise rain will come this afternoon.
