Monday – Hiking Plans

Lions Ear

Hello – How is the start of your new week going??
Last night Jeff and I went out to see the new Star Wars film! We very much enjoyed ourselves! It has been a while since we went to the movies!

Yesterday I spent a little time in the hothouse tying back the jungle

Its now a little easier to walk around in there and the tomatoes aren’t lying in the dirt!

Old bike wheels come in handy

Today I donned my GP’s for the first time in many years and took them for a walk

GP boots and my fly swatter

Jeff and I did the Anniversary Bay walk and came back over the hills – that nice big circuit takes us about 2 and a half hours.

As always the view is fabulous

We actually have a goal for early 2017, which is to do the 6 day hike across Cradle Mt and finish up at Lake St Claire.

(Check here if you want a quick refresher on my previous post on Cradle Mt National Park)

From all reports that I have heard, it is a magnificent walk. You carry all your gear – food, tents etc and hoof it across the mountains.
Hence a bit of concentrated work on our fitness levels!!
We are hoping to be organised to do this sometime in March.
We are gathering our gear – seeing what we have and what we need. I want to try to make some dehydrated meals and practice cooking them on the gas burners that we will take with us.
Going to be quite the adventure!

Todays walk was quite crowded! We met four people (four!!!) walking and there were about half a dozen young people skinny dipping on the beach!! We were actually walking a fair distance away from them, when a loud and proud male voice shouted out “We are all naked!!!”
Hilarious! So I shouted out “Whoo Hoo” and gave them the thumbs up, while Jeff amused himself by considering calling out “SHARK!!” just to see what would happen! lol
Ahhhh – if you’ve never been skinny dipping out in nature, put it on your bucket list. Very liberating feeling 😀

It was a beautiful afternoon for a walk. Soon we will get out the big packs and start putting some weight in them to see how we go!

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and a great start to the new week

Cheers!

Driving down to Sisters beach and came across a couple putting bales of hay out for sale! We really needed some as the chook coop needs a freshen up! None of the local produce shops have hay right now so this was pretty handy!
