Episode Introduction<\/h2>\n

My visitor on this episode has an extended historical past of working and taking part in in a few of the most rugged and distant components of NSW. So, with a number of days up his sleeve, a little bit of analysis and the correct of expertise and expertise behind him, he set off for an additional steep n\u2019 deep journey via Kanangra Boyd National Park, certain for Katoomba on the normal K2K route.<\/p>\n

WARNING<\/strong>: The K2K route is described on-line as a traditional 3 day journey within the southern Blue Mountains. This description was written earlier than the fires and floods since 2019. It can’t be in contrast with different walks of an identical size such because the Six Foot Track, which is on well-defined administration and hearth trails. The K2K has at all times been a difficult stroll that pushes the\u00a0Australian Walking Track Grading System<\/a>\u00a0of 1-5, into an unofficial 6. That was then (earlier than the fires) and now, it\u2019s an much more punishing route.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve written about this route earlier than with this rescue of Chini who generously shared\u00a0her written story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NPWS Alert re: K2K route<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Heraclitus was a Greek thinker, born round 500 BC. Now, I\u2019m questioning if he was a little bit of a bushwalker and a lover of nature, cos he\u2019s the one who mentioned, \u201cNo man ever\u00a0<\/em>steps<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0in the\u00a0<\/em>same river twice<\/strong><\/em>. For it\u2019s not the same river and he\u2019s not the same man.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He\u2019s additionally the one credited with saying, \u201cthe only constant is change.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Nowhere is that this extra evident than in nature: The turning of the seasons, the modifications this brings in life cycles of crops and animals, erosion from climate, local weather change, bushfires, my greying hair, you identify it.<\/p>\n

And for these of us who love being out on (or off) the observe, it\u2019s one thing that feels extra apparent in recent times: there\u2019s extra individuals, extra bushfires, climate occasions and landslides are altering the landscapes that we like to spend time in.<\/p>\n
