Today was a day of walking through pine plantations and in and out of fog and drizzle.

Not much to see.

Overcast but typical plantation

My foot and knee are behaving but I'm having trouble with my hip. I'm unsure what to do. I try the pack higher on my waist but it slips down after a while. Also for some reason my left leg goes numb after a while. I don't know whether I'm pinching some nerve.

little different

I wear it lower on the hip but that's no good at all. It seems to cramp my walking style and I get pains in my thighs and butt. It also pulls on my neck but I could fix that with an adjustment in the harness if I had to.

I enter the private forest group, Hume Plantations and I didn't do the induction I was supposed to. Hope I don't meet anyone that wants to see it.

I decide to walk around and stay the night at Jenolan Cabins. We've been talking to them at different times about leaving my car there. They even offered to drive me to Wallerawang and pick it up and pick me up from a town further south like Gundaroo so I could walk to it. At this stage I let that be. Public transport is cheap and easy to get round over here.

The only problem with the Cabins is the long steep driveway. Long I mean 100 metres. So not really long in the scheme of things.

This brings me to the end of Book 9 and now onto book 10. It also brought the demise of the lovely socks that Mal gave me in Townsville. I don't think Lesley could darn this hole for me. Lucky I have another pair just the same also a present from Mal.

A hot shower and warm bed. Sheer luxury.
