Wednesday 27 July
This week we hiked at White Rock Conservation Park an hour's drive from home. We have visited it numerous times, but on a sunny day under crystal blue skies, we found it as stunning as ever. I took few photos on this occasion but we always share, so this post is the result.
We are not called the Hungry Hikers for nothing. Coffee and cake to give us energy before the walk and Vietnamese soup to restore said energy after our 'arduous' 7 kilometres!
Our motto, "It's not the distance. It's the journey", certainly rang true today. Laughter, friendship, achievement and wondrous nature, filled our day!
Wow--- strange, creepy things reaching over the edges of the cliff--- what a remarkable place. Another great post, Helen.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. One giant hand reaching down to claw at the rock face!
ReplyDeleteWe wondered about the composition of the rock and how it came to be as it was.
This looks like great fun. That rock formation behind everyone as you stand with raised arms, is fascinating in its formation and texture. Wow. Love it. And the food…what is there to say?
ReplyDeleteYou and your hiking friends always look like you're having a great time. Nice photos, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWe certainly do, Linda. Hiking, friendship and laughter are the best medicine for staying healthy and positive! There has been a lot of sadness in the group’s life this year.
ReplyDeleteFood for the stomach and food for the soul! You were fed well on this day! Such satisfying and fulfilling scenery to see!
ReplyDeleteAnother 'top' day Alexandra. We constantly say we have never had a bad hike.
DeleteThe cake looked delicious. The rock formations were beautiful, but it looked like a treacherous climb in places. But I'm sure the wonderful company helped make even the hard parts more pleasant.
ReplyDeleteWe take great care, Kim. All now nearing or passed 70, we don't need a fall.
DeleteJust my style, hiking and cake.
ReplyDeleteA pretty good recipe, eh? Still no link or email to your blog.
