Sun 8th Jan 2017. Final session for ABCs...

8/1/2017

We had an excellent training session at Bairnsdale on Saturday. After a much appreciated modification of our intended walk by Sue (due heat), we headed out and completed approx 12km in 35deg..!! It was tough going with the occasional shaded areas of the walk being much appreciated. The steep sections had all of us working hard.
Our reward after the walk was a very refreshing swim in Sue's pool and an incredible dinner put on by Sue and husband James on a perfect summer evening. So much food. Thanks heaps guys.
The ABC team have now completed their training. Great effort by all. Special acknowledgment to Sue R who has put in a very solid past 2 months and is walking noticeably stronger as a result.
ABCs depart next Monday.

Woo hoo, 7 more sleeps for the ABC ers. Hard to believe Saturday we walked in 35 degrees looking for shade, drinking water that had become non refreshing, draping wet towels around our necks to try and cool off. In a couple of weeks we will be looking for a sunny place to sit, drinking water through a thin layer of ice that has formed on top, and draping scarves around our necks to keep them warm. Annapurna Base Camp is sitting at around -7 degrees during the day and -14 degrees at night.
