Looking for something to do this Easter long weekend? While everyone else is over-indulging on chocolate and baked treats, perhaps a fun adventure is more your style… or is that just me?! 
After knocking over almost 12km around Campbell and Mt Ainslie, last weekend I was eager to push a bit further. And looking to see somewhere new. About a 15 minute drive out of Canberra, over the border, into NSW(!) we decided to do a longer hike/walk out at Googong. After checking the web, the walks around the dam looked to easy (Ha!), and too short, so Mr. J and I decided to try the 14km, which was classified as a moderate difficulty.
Yep, I would say you could call it ‘moderate’ difficulty, if you are reasonably fit. I am not sure what fitness level I would consider myself, but hey I finished it, it was tough at times, but the amazing thing >> I wasn’t that sore! I was expecting major pain over the following couple of days. But nope! 
Some parts were beautiful, some parts were a serious slog – check out that elevation change in the middle! I guess I am not really selling it really am I? 
But hey, if I managed to jog in the last km, I am pretty sure the moderately fit can handle it.
If not maybe the 4km around the dam might be more your style… I think that is next on our list, I think it would be really pretty.
Now, on to the numbers. It is official. For the first time doing 12WBT I reached and then surpassed the 1000 calorie burn! So all it takes is 3hrs and 14km, and 1100 calories gone. Ha!
Now the question is… what to do this long weekend? I think another 10km is in my near future 
Plus some home made hot cross buns… thanks for 12WBT recipe Mish!
Oh, and,
Happy Easter! 
And… keep a look out for a giveaway competition happening here on the blog very, very soon!
