My Actifit Report Card: September 3 2021

I hate Fridays - garbage truck wakes me after only 4 or 5 hours sleep.

Clear blue sky day - up and moving a little earlier. Time to get a load of washing on the line. Then head out on the bike to walk a slice of Lane Cove NP. Looking to walk the downstream section of what I walked the other day

The walk follows the south side of Lane Cove river and drops about one third below the cliff tops. Did find evidence of orchids - probably pterostylis concinna which are common here

Turned into a scramble walk along the rocky cliffs

Big bonnet orchid leaves high up

Pea flowers always delight

As the track gets closer to the water, the number of lizards increases. Enjoying the spring warmth they were

A few good spots on the river for reflections where the water is not muddy

The target tree against a clear blue sky

And the reflection - more still than I recall. Track starts to work its way up away from the river into flatter ground - maybe a spot for sun orchids he mutters as the 10,000 step bell goes.

Did find a sun orchid about where I expected - thelymitra ixioides

Stepped back view. Decided to follow the easy route back via Bradfield Trail rather than the river track. Did find another sun orchid

A lot of walking for only two orchids. Not even a rock orchid to be seen. I then walked the roads back to the bike. This sign marks the overlap point with my previous walks in 2020.

Sent a message home saying the ride home would be slow. One ugly hill to go up. I had to stop twice on the hill and rest at the top. Not much further I had to sit and eat a snack - body hit the wall.

Next time I have 3 hours walking with big climbs I will be driving to get home safely.

Did a few garden chores

Dinner: Pizza

Trade action: Bought CCJ, WFC
