The National Trail I came down a week ago |
2748 / 2350.9km
I was excited to get going this morning. Janet was out of bed. I had packed the backpack last night and we were ready to go by 7.30am.
A quick stop for a Macca's breakfast then the drive out to Thornton which was about an hour from Janet's place. We had rain last night and the final bit of dirt road to the trailhead was a little bit muddy and the little red car bottomed out a couple of times. A quick goodbye for now to Janet and a prayer that she will listen to Siri and take the correct turns back home safely.
The track was wet and mud quickly built up in the boots. There was a lot of cloud cover and as I climbed it was getting thicker and thicker. I was expecting a view like I had at Kroombit. Which was none. But it cleared enough in patches that I was rewarded.

I was looking for these in Kroombit where they got a mention on the rainforest walk. But there was a lot out on the track up. |
One other couple have come into camp and we will camp with each other over the next 3 days. I'll have to remember to not piss them off on day 1.
So far Belinda has picked the 19th September to meet somewhere in the Northern Territory so that gives me the 7 days to finish this then 9 days to collect the car and get wher ever.
Felt good to be back out on trail. In no small part as it is actually a walk trail.
I did get a view |
