Bushwalking

I have been trying to take the boys out for a bushwalk for weeks but it has been raining, raining, raining. Finally last weekend we got a chance to go.


Most of the track was wide and paved, but we decided to take a little detour down a side route to do some real bushwalking

Did I mention it has been raining a lot recently? Anyway, about 20m down the track first Lucas slipped over in the mud and then Sam - neither of them were happy about it and tears ensued. We made a quick decision to stick to the wide paved track.
Back on the path it was a long walk up to the tunnel under the M2
So 1.1km to this point meant 1.1 km back again.

It was time to stop for a snack and to assess the mess from slipping over in the mud

It was a long trek back to the car and the boys were pretty shattered, even with stops for snacks
Eventually we made it back to the car and the end of an adventure. On reflection it was probably a bit too much for Lucas and Sam, but they remember it positively even if they weren't too happy on the actual walk.
