We walked back up the windy path back to the first crater for the big climb of the day.
At this point we started meeting all the people on the crossing coming across in the other direction. We got some grim satisfaction that we actually doing it the (relatively) easy way.
It was a beautiful day, the best out of the three, and it afforded us some spectacular views.
Once we had completed the crossing part, we had the decision of walking the last 3 hours back to the visitor's centre, or a 5 minutes jaunt and be picked up from the car park. Although knackered, we pushed on determined to complete it.
This was pretty difficult as now we walking through head high bush, no wind, humid and the sun beating down on us. The Chateau was a sight for sore eyes when we eventually saw it in the distance.
A fantastic walk, throughly enjoyed it. I would recommend to anyone but be warned. Some of it's a bit steep!
