Day 8- Grinders Grouse as Jen likes to call it
We woke up this morning and crammed in more shopping before deciding to do the Grouse Grind (or as Jen likes to call it Grinders Grouse). The Grind is a hiking trail, but not just any trail - it's a ass busting, leg numbing, 2 mile climb up the side of a mountain. It will pretty much make every hike you did before and after seem like a joke. I had done it once before and the memories of feeling like I might die caused me to opt out and take the tram up instead. An hour and a half later the girls came up the stair case looking miserable and part of me felt guilty for not detailing exactly what they were getting into, the other part of me felt amused.
