Crossing Kedumba

I had been putting it off - procrastinating you might say! With time running out for the 6ft Track and the North Face - there was nothing for it.... time to suck it in and start some serious training.

So, stage 5 & 6 of the North Face was as good a place as any to start - 30 km across Jamison Valley in the upper Blue Mountains - a couple of thousand metres of climbing and lots of steps. Oh and some rain.




Needless to say it was a lesson in preparedness - mostly my lack of the physical type. After 5 1/2 hrs of suffering it emphasised one thing - and that is - nothing, absolutely nothing replaces training on the steeps. Gotta get it into you!

So after a few days of hobbling, I'll be back out there for another crossing of the Kedumba next Sunday - maybe it won't hurt as much this time...
