Day 15 - 22/7/26
Up bright and early to drive to the trail head on the other side of the mountain. Had a quick bite to eat and set off for the summit at 0715. Others arrived as I was heading off. It’s a great workout for 5.8km ascending 714m to the top at 1105m asl. That is a little higher than Bluff Knoll and you start off lower. Not as steep though.
It was quite cool and very windy at the top so I didn’t hang around for long. Glad I wore my jacket.
The old gully trail side trail is officially closed but the markers are still there so I took a detour at the seat and descended the lower part that way. Much more challenging and interesting.
Still contemplating where to go next. Mt Bruce beckons somehow. Laundry day here tomorrow.
