We had to leave the lovely hotel and our wonderful blanket-clad beds ridiculously early to head to Worlds End. In order to reach Worlds End before clouds or mist has obscured the view it is advised to start trekking reasonably early. Ella is about 2 hours drive away from Worlds End so we left the hotel at 4.30am!
Worlds End is found on a plateau high in the mountains called Horton Plains. (click the link for more info)
The first part of the trek, taking us to Mini Worlds End, was reasonably flat with some rocky terrain. It felt as though we were trekking through a dried up river bed. Due to being up high it was 'cold' so some people had come prepared with long trousers and warm jackets, as the tourist guidbooks suggest. My Scottish blood actually rather enjoyed the cooler weather for a change! I wore my shorts, a thin tshirt with a second tshirt on top although I soon got warm and took the second one off when we reached Mini Worlds End.
