Walking, walking and more walking

Trevor and I are continuing our walking regime. While I continue to average over 20,000 steps a day across each week Trevor is also raking up the steps. He is doing at least 3 longish walks a day plus his week day alpaca outings. Inkster street no longer looks daunting and Mt Taylor is very ho hum!

With just over 3 weeks to go I think I have got all the gear that I need. Trevor needs hiking pants but we will leave this for another couple of weeks.

I think that Trevor will have to be appointed the official photographer. He has his fancy camera which is capable of taking panorama. I wonder how it will cope with the ABC ranges?

Lots more walking

[20 July 2012]

Both Trevor and I have continued our walking. Trevor is now regularly tackling Mt Taylor and has actually done a double assent.

A couple of weeks ago I took him up my regular track. He has actually tackled it on his own as well as turning off the Western Powerline track early so ended up scrub bashing all the way to the top. The blackthorn is no fun at all!

We got our medical stuff signed off by our GP a couple of weeks back. He certainly had no problem with us going.

The trip has now been fully paid and all documents submitted.

As we will be flying to Adelaide on Antony's birthday we will probably opt to have a birthday breakfast with him before getting Michael to drop us at the airport.
