It was the second time to visit south-west China and the first time to 四川.

The aim  for this visit is to walk at the famous mountains such as Mt Emei and other mountains in 四川 and make new friends.  It was amaizing to see a lot of people (age range from 25 to 60's) ride bicycle from Chengu to Lhasa via "motorway 318" (which take about 25 days), and very few real walkers on the road (which will take 3-4 months) as well.

It is well known 成都小吃. I benfited very much from 成都小吃, and got plenty energy before hiking at the Mount Emei and others.

It took me 12 hours (one and half days) to complete hiking at 峨眉山 with 负重 14 KG.

Day one afternoon (from 3:00 PM), from  黄湾charge station -  报国寺 - 里音寺 - 纯阳殿 - 清音阁 - 猴区 - 清音阁 - 万年寺 - Xiaoping route - 万年寺 parking station (finishing at 7:30 PM, 22 KM with over 1000 meters 上升)

We are going to walk “I THINK I CAN” at Glenbrook of Blue Mountain this Saturday August 7, 2010

I think I Can: A highlight of this walk is chance to get a close up view of the Knapsack Viaduct, completed in 1867. It was the most celebrated structure in the colony for many years. The viaduct carried the first trains crossing the Blue Mountains. The gradient was so steep that the trains needed to take the ascent in short sections. This was achieved by the engine pulling the load up to a switch point. The train as then switched to the rails parallel to the first leg on the next gradient. The engine then pushed the train up to the next level. This walk is along what remains of the old zigzag route as well as along a later cutting to a tunnel designed to by-passed the zigzag. A lookout over Glenbrook Gorge with the railway beneath our feet is following by a view into the Blue Mountains National Park to round off this history journey.

We are going to see Deer and bushwalk at Royal National Park this Sunday August 29 2010.
The Deer Stalker

This loop track of about 15 KM with “easy” grade will take 4-5 hours

The beauty of the forest encouraged park management to make a Forest Park Track in 1886 “to open up the park to the public.” Well done!

The walk explored an area, where deer can be seen. Early settlers, to provide more familiar animals than kangaroos, introduced deer. They are still here in limited numbers. Walkers need to be observant, as deer are shy. They are likely to be seen by the creek before reaching the rock pool or on the forest path after leaving Lady Carrington Track.


The meeting time and place

10:00 AM, Sunday 29th of August, at Car Park of Waterfall train station.
GPS S34º8´6.23", E 150º59´43.15"

It is compulsory to wear hiking/bushwalking shoes/boots.

for joining bushwalk at Royal National Park today.

16 of us walked 15 KM for near 6 hours including 10 min morning tea and 30 min lunch break and coffee time.  Everyone enjoyed very much although we did not see Deers.

Based on my own experience,  limited numbers up to 5 persons in group could have chance of seeing Deers at site, but  we are 16 today, so ...... you could image
