It was fairly steep at this point and I heated up quite quickly, so I peeled off my coat and was back to my usual Caribbean hiking attire of shorts and a t-shirt. We started the hike on a rough road that past a couple of properties and within a few minutes, we were on ‘Jacobs ladder’ - a long and lazy switchback dirt road with many ‘washed out’ ruts. We started the up-hill trek around 2 in the morning, so it was fairly cold – A first for me in the Caribbean. I’ve never hiked in the dark before, so this was a new experience for me. There were 7 of us in total, including two Rasta guides.
I woke at 1:30am, got dressed, had a bite then went outside to meet the rest of the hiking group. The drive was slow as we ventured on some pretty rough roads to get there - All part of the experience! It was a 2-hour drive to a Rasta lodge somewhere in the Blue Mountains. The adventure started when I was picked up at the bus terminal in Kingston.
