Mounting Nebo

A search of the archives suggests that the last time we mounted Mount Nebo was 5 years ago - on Bastille Day 2013 (do you remember Le W*nk's baguette and the uses he put it to? And eating snails afterwards?)

A summit shot taken 4 years before that - on YShaggr's birthday in 2009 - shows some of us enjoying the champagne she'd carried to the top. What a woman!

And here's a traditional summit shot from this last Sunday, showing at least the runners and early comers among the walkers...and a few more grey hairs....I'm not sure if everyone on the trail actually made it this far, but everyone enjoyed a very pleasant rainforest stroll:

The view of Samford for those who might not have seen it for themselves (thanks to Mile High for these images):

Escargot - assisted by Dingo - followed up the walk/run with a hearty chowder, and Cash Converta provided dessert. Many thanks, guys - it was great to come back to the mountain! (And, for the record, Culture's Fitbit recorded 8500 steps on the trail.)

Le W*nk - lazy dog - made the excuse that he had completed the Gold Coast half-marathon that morning and didn't turn up. As they say - those that are good at making excuses are no good at anything else....

Next run details
When: Sunday 8th July, 4 pm
Where: Corner Clear Mountain Road and Buranda Road, Clear Mountain. A map!
