Chester's Yard Nov 24

Today was a hard one. We had 2 km of 4 wheel drive track, 10 km of
walking track then 3 km of 4 wheel drive track. Some of the walking
track was good, some was very bad with a steep side slop and lots of
fallen trees. This walk is even tougher than I expected and I knew it
would be tough. At one stage I spit the dummy and yelled at Lee that
it was beyond our capabilities and too tough and that we should pull
out at Macalister Springs.

The forest is more open here, and the views from Mt. Clear were fantastic.

Chester's Yard is a small clearing with a nice stream running through
it so no walk to get water.

Lee's heal pain seems even worse today, so we will limp into
Macalister springs and if it doesn't improve with a days rest we will
try to bum a ride out. When we did the food drop there, lots of people
were around. It's 4-5 km from a reasonable road.

15.1 km walked, 855m climb, 645m descent.
