running 1:10:00 [3]
shoes: Asics GT-2000
I finished a meeting in the city at 5pm and thought I'd run up Brown Hill on the way home in order to catch the sunset but by the time I got to Mitcham the sun had gone (it has seemed more like June than April since Easter) and so I took a headlamp with me. Slogged my way to the top and found that the Wylie trig point has been removed. Hopefully it will be replaced (Tyson, do you know?) otherwise I'll have to remove it from the 1937 map :(
I did, however, discover a pedestrian gate into the previously out-of-bounds farmland further up the ridgeline so of course I took this, bypassing curious cattle and keeping an eye out for where the Yurrebilla trail comes up from Waite bushland. Good thing that the trail markers are reflective! After dark isn't the best time to be running on singletrack, so I took the descent pretty easily, but did admire the view out over the city lights. I have probably undervalued Waite as a running destination but now that I'm living further from Shepherds Hill I will presumably get to know sections of Yurrebilla rather better. Maybe even all 54km of Yurrebilla one day?
