Day 4 - Xmas 5 Days

It was a super early start this morning but not as early at poor Cath, Eoin and Aoife. With an 85min drive and start times from 8 - 9.30, we needed to pack up tent and leave campground by 7am. As it was a Big Foot event, Cath and co had volunteered for the start job and thus had to leave at 6am!

The morning went smoothly allowing us to pick up coffee and just-out-of-the-oven croissants from one of the two cafe's open from 6am on a Saturday morning in Bundanoon! Our very low battery indicators on our phones combined with failure to charge in the car, gave us a little bit to worry about as we were relying on google maps plus the online event info to make it to the event. Luckily we managed to access the stuff just as we were required to turn off the highway!

The last day was most enjoyable for the adult courses. The same length walk to the start as the distance for the blue course which also turned out to be nearly all taped legs due to the unfavourable terrain, was not particularly enjoyed by the girls. Nevertheless the volunteers who organised and ran each day of Xmas 5 Days did do a great job. We skipped Day 5 at Belangalo and headed back to Canberra, via a swim at Stuarts Crossing and lunch in Bungendore.
