I can feel my Overland Track fitness regime is going well, as I now trudge up my hill with far fewer rest stops and much less puffing.
To add a bit of variety to my regime, and also make the most of the fabulous sunny winter day on Saturday, we headed off on the 10km round trip up the range from home in Hunchy to Montville. The main road is closed to cars due to a huge chunk of it having slipped down the hill in last summer’s big wet, so we walkers can enjoy a peaceful walk up the leaf strewn bitumen road all the way to Montville township.
