Tramping part deux

Having some mountaineering experience from our exploits in New Zealand (link: Avalanche Peak), we decided to do the trek up to the peak of Mount Keira, one of a few mountains that border Wollongong’s western side. We hoped that we would get some good views of the town and maybe enjoy an ice-cream (always an ulterior motive involving food!!). We donned our climbing gear, hiking boots, crampons and ice-axes, got in the car and drove to the summit. Overall the drive took around 25min, it was a bit dicey in places, but with our years of experience we managed fine ;) At the summit lookouts we got some decent views of the town but unfortunately no ice-cream.

The rest of our day was pretty quiet. In the morning Andrea did a long run and a hard core session so was pretty tired. We had a few jobs to do as well (including a big hand wash) which we got done by mid-afternoon. We were then able to enjoy a few glasses of wine in the hostel. Good times…
