That trip was made in four days, from December 20th to the 23rd, with three days by boat on the canal and one day by train to come back to Tamatave, the point of departure. The Canal des Pangalanes, one of the longest canals in the world, is a series of man made canals linking natural lakes and rivers running down the east coast of Madagascar for over 600 kilometers.

Some nice hiking in open countryside with not too much concrete.

The trail is quite overgrown for a short while after crossing Fan Kam Road, but otherwise it us easy to follow.

From Shatin past a Lutheran church with a huge cross overlooking Ma On Shan country park.
Lots of stairs but otherwise no difficulties.
My GPS gave up around needle hill so the track isn't clear on the map. But the path down to shing mun is very clear.

Quite easy walk taking in the pretty kowloon reservoirs. My battery ran out near the end, but the route down to the road and bus stop is straightforward.

Набережная Фонтанки 34.
Шереметевский дворец. В гостях у графа Дмитрия Николаевича Шереметева часто бывал художник Орест Кипренский. Летом 1827 года сюда приходил Александр Сергеевич Пушкин, в мастерской дворца О. И.

Part of this hike is done on old trails which are still used nowadays by old folks. The contrast is huge between the dry area at the bottom, hardly cultivated now, and the green sugar-cane fiels near the top. A couple of sleeping villages are crossed on the way up as well as on the way down, and water and food can easily be found.

Rowerowy Potop, edycja jesienna 2013, turnus pierwszy, trasa niebieska :)

W niedzielę wieczorem wyjazd promem z Gdyni, cały poniedziałek na rowerze w Karlskronie i okolicach, wieczorem z powrót.

W cenie przewodnik, ale grupa nam się urwała po skansenie Wamoparken. Dogoniliśmy ich na punkcie widokowym, ale akurat z niego odjeżdżali, więc dalej zwiedzanie było na własną rękę.

I was going to go over to Shiny Clough and work my way up to the Stones from there , but cloudbase and a heavily waterlogged moor  made that feel more like a challenge walk than a pleasant day out . So I veered south-eastish from Bleaklow Head , spent some time watching the clouds roll by at Fork Stones , and then worked my way up to Bleaklow Stones , where I did the same .

A beautiful Fall night for a walk in this seldom used park. When we got to the far point of the trail we couldn't see an obvious path out to the "turkey foot" section. Perhaps it is closed now. The trailhead didn't have any maps, but there was a QR code to scan to get a PDF map.
