Sunday May 2, 2010 (Walk -30km)
A glorious day for walking in the Blue Mountains: crispy, cool and brilliant sunshine. We left Sydney at 6am and were on the track at 8.35 starting from Katoomba Oval via the Furber Steps onto the Ruined Castle Track and then out to Mt Solitary.
Reached the top in around 3 hours covering around 11km. We stopped on top for a short break. Jamieson Valley was still shrouded in mist and looking back it does not seem like we had come that far or climbed any significant amount. We headed down returning via Sublime Point Ridge track after crossing Kedumba River just west of its junction with Jamieson Creek. The road up from Leura Falls Creek was winding, steep and never ending. 
I ran out of water about 1km from the end having consumed 2 litres in 8 hours. We ended up covering 30km in eight and half hours. A stunning autumn day, we were back at the car just before 5pm and soon joined the traffic crawl to return home.
