Golden Eagle Trail. Spectacular, but probably best to do every season outside of summer. The first 4k of the trail were completely overgrown with nettles. I had to employ the backpack shield technique again.

Running from Hyner Run SP up to Hyner View. There is a road that goes up to Hyner View, but it's so much more meaningful when you earn a view with your own two legs.
2.5k of nettles to start off the run set the mood. It was really slow going. Had to use my running backpack as a shield for my legs.

I wanted to run on some trails in some cooler conditions. This did the trick. It was about 30C in town and about 24C up top. Only a few degrees, but soooo much nicer.
