It seems
spring has tentatively hit Melbourne over the last few days and the sunshine
and warm weather is doing wonders for my desire to get out of bed and get
moving! Saturday me hit the road with some friends all ready for some serious
climbing action at the 1000 steps in the Dandenongs.
Being a
sunny Saturday the place was packed, however we were determined to get through
it and enjoy the fresh air and feeling thankful that we we’re all equally as
fit (unfit).
Getting to
the 1000 steps is pretty easy, as it’s part of the Kokoda Memorial Trail in the
Dandenongs. It’s not a particularly tough walk, but it’s a good reminder that I
need to exercise more frequently now the weather is getting nicer and
nicer. It takes about 40 mins all
up, and isn’t even 1000 steps (liars!) but it’s just long enough. Plus the 2km
uphill hike to the bottom of the steps was more then enough to have my legs
feeling a little shaky and for me to look despairingly as we were lapped by a
guy in a pair of all stars.
Our hike was nice and our post hike lunch was even nicer. I’m so thrilled that spring is here and that sunshine and warm weather means more outdoor adventures, camping, beach trips and many more get-out-of-the-house Saturday’s!
TRIP RATING: 3/5 STEPS
