This is a walk in the lower Blue Mountains and I’ve never done it before and it’s the first difficult walk that I’ve done since I sprained my ankle at the start of the year and it was quite a challenge.

My left hip was giving me a bit of grief after walking down about 300 steps but I put a bit of pressure on it with my hand and it definitely helped me get down.

It was hot today and the sweat was running off me and I was needing more water. The last two k’s were slow and steady as my calf muscles got a workout and I’m going to regret this in the morning I think. When I finished I got a Vietnamese baget and black coffee to recharge and fuel up.

My first big walk and my ankle is complaining slightly and so after my shower I put on my compression bandage. But I really enjoyed getting out and doing this wonderful walk in the Blue Mountains.
