First time I've been out doing anything since injuring my knee a few weeks back. The ligament hasn't healed completely and I can't hike but it turns out I can ride a bike.

It's been a hot minute since my last multi day hike. I'll try to post as I hike but reception will be sparse.

Two days solo hiking in The Grampians is what I needed to breathe. Sad to see the devastation from the fires earlier in the year but there's re-generation and growth happening again.

In two weeks I"ll be hiking for 7 days walking half of the Great South West Walk. It was good to climb mountains with relative ease, my prep work seems to be working.

It's been a hot minute between posts, it's not something I'm comfortable in doing lately and I'm not sure why. I've still been getting outside and enjoying nature and I want to continue to encourage others to do the same so I will try to make more of an effort especially with hiking as I've started training for a 7 day hike in October.

Today's hike was at Penambol, I don't think anyone had been through there today as I coped so many spider webs in my face that were across the path. There was a lot of trees fallen across the path also and I nearly got taken out by a huge bounding kangaroo. Aside from that it was a beautiful sunny winter's day.

While I would have loved to take my time and search for fungi, I needed to keep my pace up to train for October but it turns out that even with a snack break, drink and photo breaks I still kept the pace needed for that hike.
