VIdeos from Pyramid Hill (2) Walk - 19 July 2026

29/07/2026

We made it back to Pyramid Hill for a second walk this year on Sunday, 19 July 2026, and this time the weather finally showed us some kindness. Sunshine, clear skies, and beautiful views all around - such a change from our last visit, when we were soaked through and officially crowned the wettest walk of the calendar.

Today felt like a little reward: dry shoes, bright light, and a hill that let us explore properly. Always grateful for these shared moments outdoors, the lovely company that makes them special, and a warm thank‑you to the Pyramid Board Riders Club - Port Moresby for the support and good energy.
