Description

This walk was somewhat similar to the one undertaken on 7 January 2019 (link), but this one was a loop and started at the gate at the end of Darrell Place, Chapman. We followed the trail counterclockwise, climbing any peaks we came across to take advantage of the views. Arriving eventually at the walking path to the summit of Mt Arawang we climbed the many stairs to the peak before heading back along management trails to our starting point.
