At mile 13 crosses Khor | | |Gwob, a wide open wadi with low | | |banks and thick bush. This Khor is | | |occasionally impassable when in | | |flood. About mile 16 the road | | |reaches the granite outcrops of | | |the foothills, and descends into a _Taharoi_ | 17 | 17 |wadi at Taharoi (mile 17), where | | |there are usually several wells | | |much resorted to for watering | | |flocks. This year only one well | | |and that almost dry. Depth to | | |water usually 10 feet. | | | | | |Tracks leads S. to Khor Tehela, | | |leaving J. Gumberit to E. At mile | | |20 usually a well, but dry this | | |year. Then S.W. into the Khor | | |Dahand at 25 miles; track enters | | |the hills and goes for 3 miles up | | |the easy valley. At mile 28 there | | |is _water in the hill_ to S. and | | |several Hadendoa tukls. | | | | | |Track then takes to hillside, | | |rising by zigzags up the end of a | | |spur. At first 1 in 6, then 1 in 4 | | |to the ridge, then very steeply 1 | | |in 3 to another col, by short | | |zigzags and rocky steps; very bad | | |for pack animals, but good hill | | |camels get up with light loads. | | |Track descends along hillside for | | |about 1 mile; all green, with | | |shrubs, grass and ferns.
