Unfortunately, Imita Ridge didn't happen today. We didn't have enough 4wds to get us to Ower's Corner so we opted for an extended loop of Varirata. I haven't done the longer loop before and I am now kicking myself, because it was fantastic, a mixture of up and down muddy slopes with the odd technical descent or climb combined with bird songs, overcast conditions and the cool jungle surrounds.It was just over 3 hours in length and opened up a whole new part of the Park and gave us some good ideas for future walks, everyone had a good time and no one was really exhausted by the morning's effort, although there were some sleepy heads on the way back down from Sogeri.
There were some spectacular scenery from gorgeous wildflowers to interesting insects, a small water course and some massive tall trees. Good fun. Everyone stayed upright, everyone stradled a large tree trunk and everyone held hands when it came to some of the trickier spots.
Rumours abound that next week there will be a walk to one of our favourite waterholes?
