Kambah Pool & River Track
Purpose: mid week run
Distance: 19.7 km
Time: 2 hrs 12 mins 48 secs
Rate: 6' 45" per km
Altitude gain: 250 metres
Weather: very warm, temp 26 degrees, humidity 33%, wind strong west 30 kmph
Week: 42.65 km, Oct: 95.55 km, Year: 4116.05 km
The next work group bush walk will be in early November so I had to find a new course before the weather gets too warm & the snakes start to appear too often.
I run this Kambah Pool course reasonably often, more likely in winter than in summer. However, during the past winter, the tracks near Red Rock Gorge has been upgraded, realigned & changed for the better eliminating some of the rocky & slow parts. About 5 or 6 new bridges added as well.
As well, much of the grass on the edges has been cut, so snake sighting is much easier, although none seen today.
It was very slow going today due to the warm weather & the strong winds. I didn't feel that great either, but job done on all counts, and that's all that matters.

It was very grassy the last time I ran it (about 10 years ago). Upgrades sound good - I'll try it next winter.
