My Updates
Lederderg 32
Alex and I on our own this week, we were aiming for 30 KMs but ended up doing a wrong track at the 27 km mark and that added a couple to the endEasily the most challenging track so far with some climbing involved, not good for my fear of heights, and some dodgy single trails around the river.
The sharp rocks made it interesting, and we got to test out the new headlamp as it was dark when we finished.
Good day out, kudos to Alex for helping me through the harder sections.
Macedon Ranges
This week's hike was in the beautiful Macedon Ranges. We began by tackling the goat track, a tough little one to begin, and then up to the Memorial Cross, then a clockwise circuit via Sanatorium Lake, Hells Hole Track, past the impressive Macedon Lodge horse racing precinct and back to the car park.In all a 27.5km trek, was a challenging day but well worth it.
Lederderg training
We completed a 21 km hike through some of the Lederderg state Forest on Sunday 30 March.Elevation gain of around 800m, the team has been getting used to using walking poles and breaking in new shoes.
We are looking at a weekly long hike, and building the distance each week, as well as shorter and strength training during the week.
