Shegar

We take our first real hike on our rest day at Shegar

7-8 Sept - Shegar

After days of sightseeing and travelling, eating but not drinking, our slothfulness is over. We hike from the Shegar near the main road to Shegar the administrative centre, approx 8km along the road, and then climb up to the ruined fort for that panorama.
