Mt Mitchell


After a bit of a wrong turn we found the parking section and set off up the mountain. The weather was hot but Paula, Tracey and I were prepared. After our first attempt at bushwalking when we were ATTACKED by leeches (Mar 17) we came ready for anything. We covered ourselves in sunscreen and tropical strength Rid.

The views along the way were spectacular! We kept walking and made it to the top where we picniced in the shade before making our way back to the car.

We were on a tight schedule so I could be back to meet with the neighbours. We pulled in right on time.

It was a great day and although I needed an afternoon kip I am not sore today.

Sunday afternoons continue....Next bushwalk Sat 21 April to Cronan Creek 13km Class 4 (5 hours) We will leave my house at 8am. We should be back around 4-5pm....So this is a whole day activity....promises to be a great day....

Mt Mitchell Wildlife



While on our waalk we spotted some wildlife. This goanna got the fright of his life when we approached and ran up the tree. This amazingly coloured beetle had really had the fright of his life and had died.

The Brief

Fri BBQ was very productive and we have a loose plan for PEAK..on the menu was salad with grilled pumpkin, meat and then grilled peaches served with mascapone and sherry toffee.

Our overnight hike and camp is planned for May. We thought it would be nice to celebrate our achievements by treating ourselves to a night at the coast. The whole weekend will cost about $250 (including accomodation, food, petrol).

Each Week
- Do 2 exercise sessions a week...one whenever you like and then .....meet together for a weekend session, loosley from 3-5pm on Sunday afternoons. Ready February Go!
