Track Notes

I last did this trip on 21 Feb 22. Today’s solo trip was not that I don’t have any walking mates, but to compare how/if I’m improving over the last 6 months.

So, the technobabble says:

Leg 21 Feb 22 31 Aug 22 Quicker?
NVC to Cypress Pine Lookout 0:38 0:36 0:02
Cypress Pine Lookout to new track junction 1:15 1:08 0:17
New track junction to Mt Tennent 1:13 0:58 0:15
Return – Mt Tennent to NVC 2:03 1:54 0:09
      0:43

That’s somewhat encouraging. Must try it again in February next year.

So much hardenbergia, indigofera and dianella about. The area will look beautiful over the next few weeks. Some other photos in the album.

The usual inviting view to the hills to the west from the top.
