It is finally Spring here in Sydney and I am loving it. Interspersed between the warm days, there are still cool days. I am not a fan of summer and the stifling heat is unbearable. This is also the best time to go on hikes as the days are getting longer and you don't end up a sweaty mess. I have plans to do two day hikes at the Royal National Park in the coming few months so to get back into the swing of things I decided to complete the relatively easy Blue Gum Walk at Hornsby.
At a 6.7km circuit, it isn't the most strenuous hike in my opinion, despite it being rated as a 4 on Wild Walks. There was a bit of uphill but nothing too horrible.
The last 1km of the walk was on the main road which was at an incline of 45 degrees! On Google Maps, I saw a small walkway and thought, 'hey, it would be a good idea to take a shortcut'. I didn't take any photos but it really was not a path. I climbed up a ladder that was resting on a rock (just casually) and ended up quickly running through someone's backyard to get to the other side. Whoops.
I am really looking forward to the hiking season!
