The Endurance Sunday(Mission Damdama Lake)

This week's walk of "lets walk gurgaon" was more of an endurance test and less of a walk.The mission was to reach Damdama lake from Gurgaon cutting through the aravalis. A distance of 25-30kms. We started about 5.15 am and reached damdama lake about 1.30pm.

Gagan slipped twice and felt dehydrated, nitu hurt her foot, kanika n me reached damadama like zombies. the joke was rather than look ahead we were looking at the feet of the walker in front so that we din't strain ourselves looking far and wondering how much more we need to travel.

We got lost and thanks to some locals reached our destination. The well en route was reason some of us reached in one piece as the water was finished and the sun was beating down with high levels of humidity. Quite a few people took a bath at the well to refresh themselves and the water was cool n sweet.

the high point of the walk was us naming a water body as "lake vishesh".

Even though nidhi felt on top of the world n tried her best to lift our spirits towards the end it was certainly an endurance sunday for me.
