But golly it was so beautiful up there in the mountains.
My beloved knows that I get much less stressed out in the middle of nowhere if he tells me that yes, the GPS has plenty of batteries. Not like that other time when we were stuck out in the middle of Wollemi NP after dark with our bikes and the batteries went flat.......
As you can see from the blue line, we did a BIG climb up onto the spur but after that is it gently undulating and brain crunchingly beautiful. The walk took us about 6 hours including stops and a picnic lunch looking out into the brindabella valley. Total 800 meters of climbing all up. There would have been more photos except those batteries went flat after 2 shots. The forest is recovering really well after the 2003 fires (finally). I love it up there.
Luckily we got home intime to meet Mr BVVF to take ownership of some more yummy Berkshire bacon and ham. hmmmmmmm.

That's a serious walk. Well done to you both. It's great to get out and spend time in the bush. Something that I would like to more of myself one day when the house is finished.
Yay! You both look so happy! Well, you look happy, mr dh looks pleased to have control of the gps.
How awesome! I can see why you like it.
