1000m Climb

My fascination with chess was maintained during our journey.

On Sunday, we set started early on our climb.

Like Jenny, we were all in high spirits as we conquered Cambage Spire, the steepest section we would cover on Sunday.

Marko reigns over Kanangra-Boyd National Park later in the day.

Thanks Marko and Jen for making this the best hike all year!

Down to the Kowmung River

In early November, Jen and Marko and I commenced a hike from the Kanangra walls.

From KanangraBoyd

Our hike started from an altitude of 1000m and from within the clouds.

Just a little south of the stone caravan, we made our campsite and made fire.

After a very steep descent, we arrived at the Kowmung River. The water was crystal clear and almost entirely trout-free. We shared campsite overlapped with the territory of a very large wombat. As well, we found a red-bellied black snake sunning itself on the rocks near our fishing spot.

Here, I relax with a mug of whisky by a handsome campfire and think positively about the gruelling climb ahead of us the following day.
