Just get out there

Maybe as part of your new project you could include a ‘no bucks’ entry level gear list to help others get started.

No surprises that the tent performed well given (1) It's a pretty good tent vs my somewhat morphed requirements, and (2) The Blue Gum Forest isn't exactly a strenuous and testing location

Yeah, I know. My upper thighs are killing me . I walked a similar circuit (Govetts > Pulpit Rock > Perrys > Govetts) as a day trip before Christmas. I think the walk up to Govetts is actually more strenuous than Perrys as the steeply stepped track seems to go on forever.glenpandrews wrote:my legs certainly would not let me call Perrys Lookdown or Govetts Leap mild A mild case of thunderbird-itus this morning actually (walking around like virgil).
