Walk Into History Part 1

After months of planning the weekend of our hike was finally on us. We planned to follow the walk into history track which is listed as a 37.5 km overnight hike. As we set off from the powelly pub we were all refreshed and excited about the fun to be had. The walking track was awesome, a great area to be in. Whilst we weren't rewarded with great views from the top of mountains we knew we were in a beautiful part of Victoria and only just over an hours drive from Melbourne.

We set off at 8am and followed the trail East away from our final destination, much to everyone's amusement and Jas's constant reminders that the GPS says we are going the wrong way, to get to our final destination.

When we finally turned North we were confronted with a track that gained 415mts of elevation in 1600mts. It was the site of where the logs were dragged up the hill via a large cog and cable. The section of track took us 1hour to walk and was made even more challenging with rain bucketing down.



As we arrived at the top of the climb we knew that the majority of the rest of the walk was downhill.

Looking nice and tired 5 hours in, and still 4.5 hrs to go, not that we knew it would take that long. As it was cold we only stopped briefly at the top to eat lunch and then we were off again.
