Blue K**b ā°ļø
For our attempt of Blue K**b, we kicked things off with a first for K**b by K**b, mountain bikes! Starting on the Coppermine track the plan was to drop in from Windy Point. But after taking a good look at the terrain, our gut told us it wasnāt the right call. So we switched to Plan B, stashed the bikes, and headed off the long way round.
What looked straightforward on the map turned into a maze of scrub, rocks, and slow-going travel. As most people who spend time in the Richmonds eventually discover, we got thoroughly humbled by the Richmond Ranges. We set a turnaround time before we left, and when 2pm rolled around, Blue K**b was frustratingly close, but not close enough. Another hour to the summit wouldāve meant an even longer trip home, and getting back safely was always the priority.
One of the best tools we use when planning these trips is Plan My Walk from the . Having a plan, backup options, and clear turnaround times takes the emotion out of decision-making when youāre tired and committed.
We made it back to the bikes at sunset, rode out under head torch light, and still had an awesome day in the hills. Blue K**b isnāt going anywhere, and weāll be back.
For now, K**b 24 is still loadingā¦ ā³šļø
