Visit to the ‘New Site’ that Never Was - G. K. BoronaHaving carried out the EIA (Environmental Impact Assessments) for all the other rock artsites – Kwitone, Mawanga and Kuuko – it was now time to investigate a new site. Fromwhat I had heard, the site in question was not easily accessible. We had just finishedassessing the impacts for Kuuko and got into the boat, which was to take us to the beach,from where we would walk up the hill to the new site. We landed at the Kitenyi Beach, afairly busy one, with fishermen going on with their business and traders selling variouswares. Two American tourists joined us.The ascent began at about 11am. The momentum was good, save for one of the EIAexperts who had injured his leg in the earlier gruelling treks to Kwitone. He wore jeans,which were rubbing against the wound and making it worse, but he was determined tokeep moving.As we climbed, the sun was getting hotter and hotter, not to mention that the hill was quitesteep. People were tired and everyone was trying to look for the nearest shade to restand catch their breath. That was the trend as we continued, until at some point somebodyasked, “Are you sure we will ever reach?” Jack was quick to point out, “We are very near”.This was beginning to feel like a journey with no end, and amazingly Jack’s mother, whohad accompanied us, was in the lead. Talk about adaptation to the environment! Those ofus who were not used to such terrain were panting and sweating profusely.37After what seemed like an eternity, we finally arrived at Jack’s home at the very top of thehill. The site was “very near” from there, we were informed. With that assurance we didnot waste much time. Jack picked a panga (cutlass) and in my mind I said “Let the gamesbegin!” This was going to be an adventure of a lifetime by any standards.The descent towards the site began without much ado, but as we continued people begangrumbling. The ‘route’ was characterised by bush, long grass and thickets. As we proceeded,it got steeper and steeper! We had to clutch onto twigs and branches and the long grassfor support. Looking further down, we could see the lake and there was a possibility oftumbling down to the lake if we did not hold onto whatever was in close proximity. I mustadmit that none of us was dressed appropriately. Most of us had on short sleeved t-shirtsand the tourists… well, they wore shorts and sleeveless tops. All the scratches from thebushes, thorns and God-knows-what-else, made the experience truly one-of-a-kind.
