A good walk. Fairly easy even though not feeling 100%. Lovely to walk along the reservoir. |

Finally conquered Mt Edwards. Had tried a few years ago with several children in tow and me the only adult. Needless to say did not make it. Feeling quite tired by the end. Doing a walking lunge and squat class the day before definitely NOT recommended. Took kids (13 and 10) and they did struggle a little. We all made it in the end. Lunch at the cafe at the car park is a great motivator :-) A sign somewhere near the top telling you how much further you have to go wouldn't go astray especially when you seem to get to the hundredth up bit (Yes I know it is only a Mount but still was a bit demoralising in places). Take plenty of water as even in "winter" it was quite warm. |
