Today was a lovely morning followed by a tedious road walk, which really hurts the feet, although it does let you get some kms done quickly. Getting back up the ridge to the HT from pichi richi park was hard going…so steep!… but only took about 20 minutes, then the ridge walk was lovely. Following he railway and fence line was ok but the long dirt road into Quorn was not my favourite. However I did get some great views of Devils Peak. Made it to Quondong cafe just after 1300, having arranged to meet Tilly there “at 1:30-ish”, so made good time. And that is the end of my last three days solo hiking on this Trail
