today rachel and i went for a long drive to have a look at the check points and see pollys kitchen.
great to see where we will be going but also a bit daunting to see some of the mountains. we went to mudgeeraba village (start point) and then to mt nimmel lodge, polly's kitchen (where we had breakfast and got some tips from the owner) - we checked out the entrance to the mountain track from polly's (the steepest) where we are walking in jan 2010. it looks dry, hot and steep, will definately need walking poles to protect the knees. then we went to numinbah hall and then backtracked to sid duncan park (amazing views of the lake) and then oval st checkpoint and then the finish line at nerang. it certainly gave me an appreciation as to how far it is as the car struggled up some of the roads, and we will have to walk the long way through roughed terrain!!!
still have to keep telling myself that we have 7 months to train and will be very familiar by the time we start kokoda in july 2010.
