Pulpit Rock the long way

The legendary Thursday Survey bushwalkers were out in force again recently. We were surveying a new (for most of us) route in the Mount Victoria area of the Blue Mountains.

We started along the historic Berghofers Pass track on the Mount York Road, and spent the next seven hours traversing various terrains to work our way round and back to Mount Vic, with Pulpit Rock as the official destination.

At the appropriate point we crossed the highway and headed up the safety ramp and on to Mount Victoria proper (the mountain, that is).

Looking back down on the highway we just crossed.

Terrific views and easy off-track walking, heading generally southward along the ridges. 

One of which was a fairly narrow (almost but not quite 'knife edge') ridge.

Eventually it's down onto the scenic hobby farm area around Blackheath Creek. Then along the road for a while, and into the bush and up the Little Zig Zag Track, heading north again.













And on to pulpit rock. A great day out!
