Wet Decisions.

After these long hours of planning our scouting destinations and moving from cafe to cafe for a good part of the day on Sunday, it was time to go on the field to see what's the reel highline potential in the blue mountains around Mt Victoria, Blackheath and Katoomba.


As the weather forecast announced some rain from monday(12.01.15) to friday(16.01.15), we were pretty discouraged about the upcoming days. After waking up around 9:30am on Monday morning, we hopped in the car and went to see what the blue mountains had to offer.

We walk along many impressive cliffs and breathtakung lookouts all around blackheath, Mt Victoria and Katoomba and found couples of potential gaps with some really good exposure but as they're all surrounded by very dense vegetation it might be pretty hard to get the line across without the use of a drone or a massive slingshot of some sort!

After a good day of scouting, we had another look at the rainy weather forecast for the upcomming days, it discouraged us once again. As the weather forecast for sydney looks much better, hot and sunny, we then decided to go for a drive all the way to the coast at richard's place so we can dry all our highline and camping gear, have showers and do some laundry. But first of all, we need to get on some more highlines under our feet so we're heading up to Sydney for some seacliffs highlines and and then we'll go to Richard's place for the night.

Be ready Sydney slack crew, we're on our way!
And thanks a lot to you Richard for extending the offer to host us whilst we're in Sydney!
