Blackheath ~ Katoomba

Today I walked with friend Jen from Blackheath to Katoomba.

An early start to beat the heat, it did eventually catch up with us around lunch time just in time for the end of the walk.

I carried my pack, packed ready for my Camino it weighed 6.5kilos. The only thing of note is how good it feels when you take it off at a cafe or at the end.

We ended the walk at a pub in Katoomba.

Training for a Camino is not just about the physical it’s also about preparing for the mental challenge, walking chatting along the way makes the tougher parts ok and the distance feel lesser.

Distance Walked; About 15km.

People helped in a lovely new, clean Audi, lost and attempting to drive on a very degraded fire trail. 1.
