Itinerary:

I've decided to take up birding again but am rusty. So, let's see what we can observe together.

The terrain is easy. Distance (approx 7km) and pace will depend on how many birds we see. If there are no birds in one area, we'll continue to the next. This event is about exploring, not about walking fast. However, the pace from one area to another will be about 4.0 kph.

I don't have a cell phone, no texting, so please don't be late.
