23/07/2016. Hiking 20km in a day.

Up a little early to get ready to walk the Ridge Walk, the Chain of Ponds Walk and the walk back to the start via the roads. This was 10km mountain walking, 2km of river gorge rock hoping and 8km of dirt road walking to return to our van. A grand total of 20km, with the elevation of around 800m assent. It was a big day’s hike, with great views on the ridge for the first 3’ish hours. There was a visitors book to sign at the very top at the lookout, and Tracy wrote in it for us. The climb down was very steep and I found that challenging.  We all enjoyed a wipe down shower and a veg out for 60 minutes before dinner.
