Something so strong...


Dah dah, dah dah, danananana....

We decided to run up to the top of Mount Coot-tha on Sunday afternoon.

"Why?" you ask, and well you should, for there is a road that goes all the way to the top, and a car I do have.

Apart from not being very bright, I did have a good reason.

I am a bit unfit, and we are shortly to go wandering about South America, climbing up and down mountains whilst carrying packs.

It behooves one to start training a bit.

Happily, I took my camera, so we took a break at the top long enough to grab a few shots. I say long enough - in fact, as stuffed as we were, I had tons of time to take photos.

In case you are wondering, that is the Brisbane city centre in the distance there. We were going to hang around and wait until the sun went down a bit to get some better shadows, maybe some city lights....

...but we didn't. Maybe next time.

So the run to the top was in contrast to the stroll/walk from home to the mountain (hill - compared to where you're going)? And no excuses about too much pollution on the streets - you'll need to get used to lack of oxygen as well!

Looks like a beautiful day though - blue sky has been very scarce lately around here.

kucgh - how you felt at the top of the mountain?? (as well as been the verifying word and my username)

perhaps putting too much on to call it a run.

It began as a brisk walk, then slowed to a struggle.

No, by the top we actually felt pretty good.

Almost trqxzit, in fact.
