This was actually our second time walking this route, and maybe that also accounts for why it had taken me so long to get around to it, in the intervening five years, this walk had been mythologised as "the spider trail."
That first time we had started at the Keelung end, meaning that there was more climbing to do, and worse than that, it seemed like we must have been the first people to walk the trail in weeks because we were walking face first into spider webs every step we took. I never even bothered writing about it back then because that's how miserable it was. Thankfully it seems like things have changed since then (or maybe I'm remembering it as being worse than it was), because this time it was far more enjoyable.
