Rodneys with a Pack!

On Wednesday, accompanied by my Brother-in-law Graham Allen, we went up and down Rodney's Pillar the long way around. 2.45 miles up and 2.45 miles down. Plus a little extra to make it up to 5 miles.

I did the trek with an 11 kilo backpack (24.2 lbs) up and down with only a brief 5 minutes rest at the top. Thanks to Graham for coming and keeping me company and motivated as i could have easily given up half way.

I timed it at 1 hour and 40 minuites, 10 minutes off the pace for 5 miles. Next task is try and better the time, the one after that? - Do Rodney's up and down twice with 16.8 kilos (35 lbs) in under 3 hours.......

Keep watching!

Chris
