What an awesome hike we did today to finish our Hike and Bike, Bright weekend.
Starting at Mount Buffalo Chalet we headed off down the track to Lake Catani. Admiring the serenity of the lake we continued on up through The Gorge until we got to the Chalwell Galleries.
Wow, we all looked up at the large granite rock formations. The shock on some faces said it all. We needed to climb our way over large boulders and through a very narrow passage.
In single file we boosted, pulled and helped each other through the challenging crevice supporting each other.
There was immense relief when we finally popped our heads from darkness through a small gap in the rocks to soak up the sunshine. What an amazing achievement for everyone.
There’s something special about hiking together and this 7km hike certainly challenged a few of us and took us out of our comfort zones.
Teamwork on a hike isn’t loud or flashy but a simple hand when sections get tough, a short pause to ensure no one is left behind or words of encouragement when things get tough.
When we support each other on the hike, the views at the top feel richer, not because of where we are but because we all got there together🌸
