Adelaide - Perth

We were both motivated, so next up MT Trio.
Michelle wanted to do the Bluff Knoll but the top is in the clouds and here the sky is starting to clear up a little bit so we think and hope we get a little bit of a view 🤞
I quickly grabbed a wrap and then we were off at 12.56 pm.
Holy Moly that was a tough one. Steep up the hill it goes right from the beginning. Stairs after stairs in all different sizes.. not one step was as the one before or after. My legs were burning.
It's only a short walk, 3 km but it was so steep for the first half of the trip. I had to stop so many times to catch my breath, relax my muscles and try to motivate myself to keep on going. I think, if I was alone I would have turned around at some point. But together we made it and suddenly the steep part was over and I was just a nice stroll up to the top.
And the view was amazing!! Still cloudy but with some sunny parts. That was just super special. Unfortunately the wind up here was ice cold and we had to start to walk back down quite soon. 1,5 km back and 370m down. Crazy.
The way back down was a tough as the way up. Can't believe we made it up, it was so fucking steep.
We met a couple that was on the way up and motivated then to keep going for the last part
We were back at the carpark at 3:05 pm so it took us a little bit over 2 hours! 💪
From here we drove to the Bluff Knoll Cafe for a nice ice cold drink. Talked a little bit and said farewell.
I drove the campground from here.
Nice and simple campground at Mt Trio. I met the couple from the Mt Trio walk and we talked the whole rest of the afternoon and evening. Kelly and Shan are from Ireland but have been living here for a few years already. They were so funny and we had such a great time talking and freezing together. It was getting really cold in the evening. And the night was also so cold, around 11 degrees only!Læs mere
