Let's gooooo! Phoebe will take us on a nice hike this weekend!
We will meet at Nuannaun Train Station at 9.45am. (local train 1136 leaving from Taipei Main at 08:57! If you take another station; check the departure details online please). We gather at Nuannaun Station and from here walk about 1 hour to the trailhead with nice views on the way.
The hiking trail itself will be approx. 11km and has an elevation change of about 500m. We expect the hike to take us about 6-7 hours, but please be flexible as it all depends on the day. The forest in this Northern area is well-preserved and the unpolluted river stream flows all year round. We can expect some beautiful views, greenery and insects. We will hike to Shifen Old Street where we can eat something and/or jump on the train back to the city.
Note this is a hike, not an easy walk! It's very doable for experienced hikers, but it's long and can be tiring. If you are new to hiking this is not the event for you. So make sure you are experienced enough for this physically, and that you can keep up with the group.
Important:
Wear appropriate clothes and shoes for hiking in (unpredictable and sometimes extreme)Taiwan weather.
Bring enough water (recommended 2L) and food for hiking for a few hours. There's no shops on the trail.
This hike is organized by volunteers. You yourself are the only one responsible for your physical and mental wellbeing . Never leave the group without informing others and be careful and responsible at all times.
Be friendly, willing to meet new people and make everyone feel welcome.
Be flexible if the exact route or anything changes in case of unforeseen circumstances. Go with the flow. :)
Signing up = showing up on time . Waiting list? Join us next time!This event is free. Leaving us a small tip for time and effort is appreciated.
Make sure you are capable to participate in a hike like this. If you're not certain, Google the trail and do your own research beforehand.
