Saturday July 6 Lake Leschenaultia

The last two Saturdays Peter hasn't been able to join the walks. Last Saturday Kathryn joined me for a walk between Mt Henry Bridge and Canning Bridge, approximately 6km. I wore my backpack and took my hiking poles. The more I do this the stronger my shoulders become.

Today we drove upto Lake Leschenaultia a man made lake east of Perth. Originally developed to supply water for the steam trains after they had ascended the Darling Ranges. Today it a beautiful and popular recreation area.

The walk was not a long one, about 3km. Today with my backpack that's all I was happy to walk. It was quite cold around 4deg, by the end of the 30 minute walk I had quite warmed up. I believe Kathryn also enjoyed the short walk, although her tendons give her problems in her ankle area.

We had breakfast on the way home at the Mundaring Bakery Cafe. As holidays have started I hope to get a few more walks in over the next couple of weeks.
