Grampians - The Fortress and Mt Thackery walk 13-15/11/16
Three day walk in the Victoria Range of the Grampians. First day parked at the Manja Shelter and walked up to the Fortress. Rained pretty heavily the whole way up to the Fortress, took about 4 hours to reach the campsite. Second day walked from the Fortress to Mt Thackery, didn't take too long to reach the campsite then walked up Mt Thackery and back. About 4 hours walking again this day. Third day walked back to the car. Further distance than the previous days but the track was a lot more straight forward. Took about 4-5 hours.

East West Walk 19/11/16
Quite a short walk with Mum. Followed the East West Walk around which took us just over an hour. Placed weights and sleeping bags in my pack which probably brought the weight to a bit over 20kg. Northern Area 02/12/16 Bit of a shorter walk after some climbing. A bit under an hour. Pack weighed just under 30kg. Summit Walk 06/12/16 Walk to the top of the You Yangs. Lots of steps to the top. Pack weighed just under 30kg. Other walking in the You Yangs to climbing areas, probably has helped to a degree. |
