Number of Participants: 13
Name of Host: Mr Chinyemba
We left Sam Levis village in Borrowdale a little late (1:25) as apossed
to the 1:15 start, as there was a slight challenge getting people into
cars, but after we were sorted, we were off on the Borrowdale road out
towards Domboshava, but then made a turn towards Borrowdale Brooke. Past
Borrowdale Brooke, and onto a dirt road that looked like it was made for
development as there was many other roads going off from it. We were
following Richard who knew the way to Mr Chinyemba's house, and it took
us a good hour to get there as we had to navigate roads that were not
marked, but none the less we managed to find the house and at around
2:20 we left the cars at the house and were off into the surrounding area.
Our guides were Mr Chinyemba's Children who accompanied us on the walk
in the area. Our route took us down the valley and then up a hill where
we then proceeded up a hill to get to a waterfall that Mr Chinyemba had
told us about. His children knew better where it was, so we followed
them. We could certainly hear the waterfall.
After about 20 minutes of climbing the hill and battling with the bush,
we came to the waterfall. We then proceeded to climb up the side of the
waterfall to the top, once there we had a break and enjoyed the view of
the surrounding area. After a short, we crossed over the river & tracked
our way back.
Next weekend is a walk in the Chidabgwe area.
