IT WAS AMAZING!!
Suprising how nervous i was about how cold it would be! I knew we would be able to tackle the challenge you can always stop for breaks.
It turned out to be 6 degrees!!!! Brrr but we were all prepared!! We had many layers on! A scalf and a beanie and a hoodie! Once we got moving it was actually quite warm and we had to take our layers off!
I tell you what the rainforest was so beautiful! It was so nice getting back into nature! Its so relaxing!! Every two seconds i was like ooohhhh look at that...tree...rock...fern...view. haha
When we started it was really foggy and we could hardly see any view but during the morning it started to clear and when we were walking back it started to rain! So it was good timing!
There were steep stairs going down as well haha But it was surrounded by lovely rainforest so it was bareable!
My bestfriend and I meditating hehe
Morning tea break before we started the
giant climb up the stiar case of doom!
The first staircase...
Smiling.. clearly we hadnt started!!
My Brother & sister inlaw who braved the journey with us!
They really enjoyed it and are actually doing the next challenge with us too =)
Our LAST staircase! We were pretty happy to be finished after 1000 stairs!
HOORAY WE SURVIVED!!!!
Decided not to go back down in the end.. Maybe next time
Stretching as we cool down!
We had a look around kattoomba (and got lost in a candy store) as we walked back..
Mel & I actually ran back as i wanted to get my calories up..
It took us just under 1.5hrs to complete the 5km, 1000+ stair walk! It took us about 20 minutes to walk/run back along the road from katoomba.
Overall an amazing day! It has inspired me to include lots of bushwalking in my challenges! I didnt realise how much i had missed being out in the wilderness after quitting scouts..
Stay tuned for our next challenge =)
