Easter Sunday Training - Sunrise to Moonrise at Broken Hills

 My day started in darkness, with a 12 km slog to spot a beautiful sunrise over a foggy valley, then tramp through the swampiest ridge I've ever experienced to reach Hihi trig and hunt for a geocache.






 My day ended in darkness with Taryn and I setting ourselves a tough night bush bash through scrub, bushland, farmland and streams.  This will henceforth be known as the day when the phrase "is that ground?" was first started, as I found myself scrambling on windfall only to peer down between branches and spot my headtorch hitting the ground some distance below - realising I was suspended over a bank.  Fantastic adventure and great learning opportunities in our nav mistakes!
