Bushwalking Quote of the Day from My 7 Year Old

[Son of a Beach]

Half way up the Horse Track (Cradle Mtn) this afternoon she says to me:

My legs hurt but I feel great!

What a little trooper!

Will this be a daily thing? I know I'd definitely read it.

The future bodes well for her with that attitude

I have a very strong recollection of her first trip up to BP Lodge and remember the games we played ,thank you Nik for sharing
Did your other little one make the trip this time ?

Yes Corvus, I didn't time the walk but they both walked well the whole way this time. I reckon they did it all in well under an hour and carried full back packs (all their own clothes plus books and craft stuff).

We will be hut bound all day today, I think (wind, rain and cold) so all the craft, books and activities will come in handy.

I brought a huge text book to read in preparation for an exam in a few weeks.

It was a great trip the first time up here when you were hut warden (5 years ago!). We've been here almost every year since, and missed just one year.

It snowed around dinner time last night and there was a light dusting on everything this morning. The kids are loving it. Although the rain has just about washed it all away now.

I did a huge fry up on the BBQ on the deck for breakfast this morning. Bacon eggs and tomatoes. Luxury.

Was it that long ago! green with envy with your current trip hard to believe that wee bundle as she was then is five + now also love the comment from your 7 year old (wish I was good at names) sorry.

I'm pretty sure that this is a known trait of a true bushwalker.

Close. On Saturday it was more a case of "I feel like 8^$#&* but at least I'm out walking".
