Where do we go now?

Up just after 0400 and at the airport to check in by 0515 for the 0700 flight to Sydney. Modern technology allowed rapid self checking in, and also smart lane at Sydney avoids all the queues. Picked up a hire car, and GPS, and drove into the Blue Mountains to tsuken and his home and family.

This afternoon he and I went out for an old man's pace run in the local bush. Never have done a lot of trail running, and I avoid running up hills to keep the heart rate sensible. So I was often in the position of catching up while tsuken waited.

This time, the trail had stopped. There didn't seem to be any other way it went. Until we saw the path 2 m above us, and realised that there was a bit of goat clambering to reach it.

Awe inspiring country with massive rock faces, and lots of trees and shrubs. Streams and pools. A pleasant blow out. According to tsuken's iPhone app we ran about 5 - 6 km with vertical down and up of 150 m. Small bikkies compared to the fell runners.
