I moved back to the Blue Mountains in July but broke my wrist hiking within the first month.
I hiked out of the valley, meeting the ambos at my car – they were legends
Check out the weird shape the orthopod bent my arm into (and they wondered why my bone had moved from the original setting when the cast came off – sigh)
My phone was in my pocket at the time of the fall, so unfortunately it took a swim too, and because I hadn’t backed up, I lost all my photos from recent months. I think there’s a lesson there…
I will be getting a new phone soon so will write a longer post with more current photos then. But in the meantime, here are a few old faves from some hikes over the last couple of years.
Blackheath – Grose Valley
Bridle Veil Falls
One of many Grose Valley creek crossings (you wouldn’t want to break a wrist in this valley)
Emerging out of Rodriguez Pass towards Evans Lookout
Katoomba – Jamison Valley
Mt Solitary from the Golden Stairs
Sleeping under the stars on Mt Solitary
The Ruined Castle
Scenic Skyway shadow with Mt Solitary in the background

Ok, I have to go teach Nineteen Eighty Four to some students.
Welcoming recommendations for entry level hikes in the Blue Mountains region until my arm regains its former strength.
The cast is off, so I’ll be hitting the trails again soon!
