Dec 14-15 - Bush Walk Training Hike

So I should be preparing Christian Discovery right now as I am leading it for a year 4 and 5 girls school upon my return to camp / work / Nowra / "home," but instead I am taking advantage of this wonderful wireless internet connection to catch everyone up on my life the past month and a half!

Dan and I planning our training hike. We had to detail our course, where and when we would stop, locate emerency exits points, and plan our menu. This hike would be just Dan and I and our trainer Shell!

Shell and I at Jelly Bean pool after some "bush bashing" / navigating / walking on a compass bearing. I was a bit disappointed to discover the pool was not full of colourful jelly beans :-P Thank you Mel for loaning me your gators! Just wish we had thought to put them on sooner as we all suffered several scratches before remembering we had them!


A "bush cockroach" found at our campsite in the morning. Had to pick it up for size comparison so you could appreciate just how big it is!


A quick detour to "Lost World Lookout"
It was a wonderful, enjoyable two days out the in the Blue Mountains!!
