Well what can I say it's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring. Well not me I was ready and raring to go this morning hiking boots and hydration packs and ready for my challenge. Hang on weigh in first well I am happy with 1.2 loss so that is good and helps to keep me motivated for the day. After jumping into Darren's car in the pouring rain it was time for a mystery trip down the highway to a little place near Alston ville wow we did out toilet stop and away we went . Got to the fence line and said Oh Shivers what have I got myself into here. With climbing sticks in our hand we trekked up this bloody great hillside thank goodness there were flats along the way so you could have a breather. After quite a few choice words and Angela chatting away motivating me before we new it we were at the top of this hill. That felt good I achieved this climb but oh we need to get back down. Off we went streams of water running down the hill and
quite a few squishy squashy places we headed down. This was entertaining I fell down twice making a bit of a comedy act for Angela to enjoy. At last we were back on the bitumen and firing at the fact that We had made it. A well deserved breakie to follow and coffee. Thanks for the inspiring day on the mountain looking forward to see how much better I can do next time

Thanks Angela and Darren for the motivation along the way you are great fun to be training with.
