On Sunday, as long as the weather cooperates, The Sister and I are going to go on a bush walk in order to a) gain some exercise and b) break in our brand new, virginal trekking boots. Apparently, walking or rather, trekking, in unbroken-in boots or shoes is very, very unwise and as such some breaking-in of said boots needs to take place. Sooner rather than later.
SO.
We shall most likely attempt to do the Giant Staircase/ Furber Steps walk in the Blue Mountains. As the name of the walk implies, it consists, in part, of walking down a series of many, many steep steps down the side of a cliff. Which will be interesting because, according to quite a few of the reviews on Trip Advisor (Holy Grail of Independent Travel Reviews), it is a walk neither for the faint-hearted or unfit due to the steepness and exposure to heights. Given that I am TERRIFIED of heights, it should prove to be an interesting descent to the valley floor.
Wish me luck.
