Well today is marked as "Very Hard Grade" and that
it was ! Lots of climbing and extremely hot.
We were up at crack of dawn again, had our Breaky and headed
off. It's so cold of a morning and comes out so hot not long after you start
trekking.
We started our walk climbing through Spencer Gorge which was
just spectacular with its narrow red walls.
We leave there and keep going up - the view down the valley
and mountains is spectacular. We finally got to the top of Razor Back
Ridge and got to see the most incredible views - it truly is impossible to
describe the view.
After a yummy lunch of salad wraps and ending with a block
of chocolate, we were fuelled up and it was time to hike again.
We carefully trekked along the ridge and up the Linear
Valley to Hugh Gorge. The Gorge just never seemed to end. We had
trekked for 9 hours and were exhausted.
Finally the Gorge came to an end and we had come to the end
of our day.
Everyone had done the best job today and kept each other's
spirits up along the way.
Today we did around 24,000 steps and according to Fi's
Garmin walked up 74 flights of steps.
We are in our camp now sitting around the camp fire and
waiting for dinner. We are having kangaroo tonight.

Challenging but spectacular
Comment from Em:
The evening wilderness was very exciting - I felt like
I was 5 years old again.
Time to rest up our feet.
Until tomorrow
