We'd not done Gladstone Pass previously, walked past it a number of times on Lindeman Pass, so we thought we'd add something new to a well-loved loop we've done numerous times before and fill up a Winter long weekend (thanks to Her Majesty, The Queen) with some brisk walking. …here something about mice and men is trying to make itself known inside my head.
Prince Henry Cliff Walk is what makes Furber Steps - Giants Stairs Loop a loop. We just fitted it in after doing the shopping, and although it didn't extend us at all, it was wonderful to walk in the setting sun with such gorgeous views.
We're at the end of the second month of training…
We've done the Six Foot Track many, many times, and although last time we said we'd never do it again (because of how crowded it had become and the implications of that on the maintenance), here we are doing it again…
Training walks can get a little ho-hum because you do them so often, the local ones anyway. It really is important that these walks are still interesting and fun, otherwise it's all just exercise.
