Training/ Pre-Travel Setbacks


Completing my final two days at work proved more challenging then first anticipated. It was ambitious to consider planning at least the next month within a few days with so many things happening concurrently. I was tired and there was still many things to do before the proposed departure date.

Joseph had been helping organise things whilst I spent 10 hours at work on both Monday and Tuesday, he was also putting in some last minute training on the slacklines and getting used to the type of slackline gear I own.




We also went down to watch the surfers at Bells Beach and train on the sand


More training (110m x 2.5m Sag)

My motor vehicle required a new set of brakes and was booked in for the morning that we had planned to depart to the Blue Mountains on. After a slow mechanic and a $600 bill, our motivation to drive 10 hours had diminished and it was agreed that we would alter the plan slightly and leave early in the morning on Thursday the 8th of January.

Sometimes its a good decision to let go of the proposed deadline in order to remain safe, guard our health and allow for a more free flowing and relaxing journey. It is often challenging to do so in my world however it is for good reasons when I re-evaluate and looking back on similar experiences listening to your body is key.



An early night and a clear mind will do both of us good and the excitement and stoke have only risen through these set backs.
