We went on a walk in the Blue Mountains National Park today. After a delicious breakfast of herbed mushrooms and poached eggs at the Conservation Hut, we headed out to follow the National Pass walk.
It started with the descent to Empress Falls - it was an awfully long way down - and I was a bit worried when we watched someone slide off the edge of the path into a pool!
Then headed around the side of the canyon along the National Pass with breathtaking views across Jamison Valley. Nick was a "little" worried about the drop to the bottom.
We made our way around to Wentworth Falls. There we had to ascend the steep steps back to the top of the cliff. Though we had to stop and shelter from the rain when a storm came over, obliterating the view with clouds for 15 mins.
At the top we took the Undercliff walk as far as Princes Rock Lookout. Then ended the walk taking the Short Track back to the Conservation Hut and a cup of tea.
[NK: Breathtakingly terrifying pictures to follow, images that will strike terror into the heart of all but Himalayan Mountain Goats - not recommended for acrophobics.]
