Testing the new pack out

December 29, 2011 Posted by KowP

The last one wore my hip bones off once I loaded it up. I walked the new one home from Crosslands Reserve.

17kms with 25kgs
Took around 4hours.

The first photo is at the top of the “character building” hill which climbs out of Galston Gorge.
The second is part of “stair 251″ with Cleo leading the way. (maybe next time I’ll weigh her down too).

“Stair 251″

3.5 months till i leave for Nepal, time to ramp up the training and blogging!

 

Ok, i had always thought my training would take me to the bush stairs at the end of Quarry road in Hornsby.

Rumoured to be 251 steps in total, i needed to try them out.

Results in:

Walk down (30kg weighted) 4.45minutes

run up (unweighted) 2.45 mins

Walk up (30kg weighted) 5.55mins

Certainly hurt, heart rate spiked real bad towards the end.
