Deception hut

13km 6hrs unrelentingly sunny.

What an amazing day! Any day with multiple swims in glorious swimming holes is marvelous. Doubly marvelous since all 3 of us are back out here!

We spent about 20 minutes in forest where the cicadas were defening and the rest of the day meandering up a beautiful river with lots and lots of swimming holes. What could be better?

This section is part of the cost to cost adventure race so there were a handful of people running what is going to take us 2 days to plod. Oh to be that fit! One guy offered to carry our packs if we would run, I don't think he was counting on all 3 of us chasing him up the trail volunteering... he can thank us for his PB later.

We got to deception hut at about 330 and after a brief discussion regarding carrying on decided to stay. The river is very close so I spent the rest of the afternoon "washing" (swimming), and draping myself over the warm rocks to warm back up.Leggi altro
