Today's trail, 13km

To begin with, a 3 km boat ride will take us through the Pearl-river delta to our starting point. Except for the first km of marshlands after the landing-stage, we'll be walking mostly in coniferous forests consisting of both fir and pine. We need to cross a number of small bogs today, and if the weather hasn't`t been too bad for the last days, the duckboards should be enough to keep our feet dry.
Compared with the next coming two days, this trail is very easy to walk. Almost no elevation or obstacles on the trail makes for an easy starter. Occasionally the trail touches the river we are following upstream through the valley, and those places are well suited for breaks. Shortly before arriving to Njunjes we will pass something resembling a jungle with its abundant vegetation. It is a peculiar feeling walking through high ferns and monkhood, knowing that we are now approaching mountains well above the arctic circle.
