Blue Mountains

Well decided last minute on Saturday that was in need of some much needed fresh air and a trip up the mountains . After some last minute packing of the Sleeping bags, air mattresses , hiking boots and the rest of the camping gear on Saturday night we tried to get some sleep.
Managed to wake up at 6 on a Sunday and we headed off at 7.
We reached leura before 9 and after some more coffee ruthie and I headed to Govetts leap to start the walk . We walked down Rodriguez pass a descent of 760 mtrs under Bridal veil falls and into the Grose valley, after some stopping to take photos we reached junction rock at 1pm then decided to walk back out the same way . After a few Km's back to Bridal Veil falls then some 905 steps up Rodriguez pass we finally reached the car and the chance to take the hiking boots off ( there is no better feeling ) .
The next day we walked out to Hanging rock, a 10km round trip along fire trail. Hanging rock is spectacular and one of the best things is there is no crowds. Being a Monday Ruthie a I had it all to ourselves . We just managed to make it back to the car before the weather set in and we decided to head back to Sydney , a great 2 days in the mountains and we have already booked in the diary to head back next month and hike down and camp at acacia flat and stroll around the Blue gum forest .
