During our previous visit to Hofi Mango we started the trail to the top of the Seru Warawara but decided after a short while to save this trip for another time. That time came on Thursday January 29, 2015. Once again we had permission from Alex and Lia Ooms to park our cars inside the hofi. The group was small this time, Eddy, Carel, François and I and one guest, Chris Winkel.
Alex showed us the way to the first top of the Seru Warawara; for us 'a walk in the park' because there was a path to this top. So we didn't have to crawl under or cut our way through the vegetation.
Soon we crossed a first dry-stone wall; The Werbata map showed a green line at this location which most of the time indicates a fence or other boundary between areas, but sometimes also a dry-stone wall.
At the first top (71.8 meters high) we took a first break. I started looking for a Kadaster measuring point in the vegetation. And indeed there was a Kadaster measuring point at this top, but I could only find remnants, broken off pieces. Nowhere I could find the place where the measuring point was originally placed; no traces of the foundation.
After the break, Alex left us and we continued in the direction of the second top. Again we crossed several dry-stone walls before we reached the top. At this top we took a second break. Carel brought a coconut with him which he opened and cleaned for us. It was a bit much coconut for the five of us. Chewing coconut is a tiresome experience.
At this top, which is a little bit higher than the previous one, I couldn't find a Kadaster measuring point.
We continued our hike through a roi. After a while we reached an open area; we decided to cross that and go more or less directly to the road. Close to the road we found a large and deep well with close to it a large engine, apparently used to pump up the water.
After reaching the road we went to the snack on the other side of the road and took a drink there. Then we walked via the asphalt road back to the gate of Hofi Mango.
