#29 Blue Mountains Bush Walk and Picnic










#29 Blue Mountains Bush Walk and Picnic - Completed 18 July
Sarah and I headed to Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains, we had chosen the Valley of the Falls as the walk we wanted to do.

The weather was beautiful and it was certainly a great day for a walk. The start of the walk was just stunning the view of the mountains and seeing the blue haze across the horizon is beautiful. We then hit the stairs... see when you choose a walk that involves a valley and waterfalls... just remember when you go down stairs you will probably need to come back up. OH MY GOD. I knew was unfit but really this was crazy. It has been mentioned to me that one of the walks is nicknames 1000 stairs, well I think we found it! Lucky for me Sarah was very patient in waiting for me to get my breath back!

Although it was very hard on the way up, the walk over all was quiet beautiful.

Once we got to the top, it was time for a well deserved lunch, chicken and vegetable pie, raspberry and apple loaf, chicken pâté and crackers(all homemade) and hot a cup of tea. Heaven.





*Mental note: remember to stretch after a big walk...trying to wear heels to work with painful calf muscles not good!!*

Six down, 34 to go.
