brad and i thought we would try the 900 stairs at apple tree park that we had heard about. we found the park easy enough but no mention of stairs so we thought we would just follow one of the tracks and see if they were there. we didnt have a map, so after taking one of the tracks and ending up back at the road, i was reluctant to keep trying.
in the end we went back to pollys and did the hill (in 50mins) and then had lunch at pollys, have tried to google where the stairs are but hard to find any information, i plan to ring the forestry dept tomorrow and see if we can find them.
the plan for next saturday is to do the final 2 sections (total 19km) and if enough energy do the stairs. have been reading other teams news and we seem to be extra slow with teams doing the same distance in about 8 hrs compared to our 10hrs, i just dont think i can walk much faster, but next time we do the sections when alan is back at least we wont waste time checking the maps as we will know where we are going.
next month we are going to have to put in some long days to get ready as there is now only 14 wks to go and the time is going fast!!!
Keep on going! So what, a difference of two hours...that's only tiny! If i was coming with you two I would really drag the team down! Stairs...doesn't sound good, hurty legs. Sounds like the whole trail is a marketing exercise by Polly's! Constant stream of tired hungry people!
