Flick shows why she's in demand on the catwalks

Flick, Rodge and Alan headed up to the Blue Mountains at sunrise, 11 June, leaving the torrential rain of Sydney behind for the intermittent icy showers and occasional sleet of the higher altitudes.
We did Perry's Lookdown to Blue Gum Flat and back via Victoria Falls, a distance of 30km, with a considerable vertical profile. Most sensible bushwalkers would do it in two days, but sensible doesn't get you Trailwalker-ready
Our intrepid team slogged it in in about five hours, which was tremendously gratifying considering the amount of vertical distance involved. I think it had something to do with the crisp mountain air, the pristine beauty of the Grose Valley, and the Guinness and pie by the fireplace waiting for us in Blackheath at the finish.
You can get a sense of the beauty, crispness, (but sadly, not the pie and beer) in our Trailwalker photos.
