Yosemite Adventures - June 07

Packed with adventure (and plenty of adrenalin) Bel and I (Team Nevada) hiked to Nevada Falls, an 11km (8 mile) adventure which took the best part of 6 hours. For 2 non hikers, we did damn good!

Being the adventure seekers we are (hahaha) we decided our day was not complete without a trail ride with some fine horses. 5 minutes into the ride we were met by a bear and her 3 cubs - yes that means 4 bears. If Bel's deep breathing didnt scare me enough, the growling in the woods did. The guide did little to calm us when over the walky talky she screams 'urgent assistance required, we have bears beside us'. With both of our horses on two legs we desperately wanted to turn back but we pushed on. Fun in the end, yet tiring and burning legs for days - however, another adventure complete!

Team Half Dome were so impressive, they hiked 16 miles (20kms) from 530am - 700pm, climbing cables and up a 45 degree angle, what an achievement. Not for me this time, but maybe one day.

It was wildlife central, and as much as I tried to be at one with nature, it is just not my calling! I guess no big surprise for those who know and love me!

Terrific weekend was had by all, thanks to the Queen for having a birthday!

Thanks to Hatchie, Kristen, Sam and Bel for a fabulous time and for organising such awesome weather also!

Check out the video for some fun pics and the sound track is care of Bel - well done!
