| View from the lookout |
NSW Day 21 (162) Wednesday 3rd November, 2021 21.7km3180 / 1918.9km
Without a book for this section which is in the lost mail box it is hard to quickly look at what's coming next. I do have a pdf file on the phone but it's not the same. I normally look at the book every night and have a fair idea of the following couple of days. I hope they find the box as book 9 is in there as well.

| The road through the forest |
I climbed up from the creek to a lookout where I had fairly good signal so I was able to send photos and notes home.
Then it is a long walk through the forest and a long slow drop down into the valley to the creek.

More forest

Only saw two motorcycles today, not much to report. I had a sleep and on the track down I let loose a few tuneless songs. One problem at the moment is the March flies. Stop for any length of time and they come. As it's warm I am wearing shorts and this provides easy access. When I'm wearing long pants I can snooze as I hide my hands in my armpits and drop my hat over my face. They sometimes are able to get me through my shirt but I just make it loose on the exposed side.

| and more forest |
The differences in temperature from up top I think at 1300 metres above sea level and down in the valley is at least 5 degrees but today it seemed more. It's also a lot more humid and I saturate my shirt very quickly without a breeze to help dry out.
I stop on a flat spot beside Georges Creek. Having a look at the flow some of the crossings may be a little tricky if I plan to leave my boots on.
Something to worry about tomorrow
