Junction Cabin - Sphinx Rock Evening Walk - 11 Feb 2025

 Instead on a daytime walk this week Joy is talking us on an evening walk from The Springs to Junction Cabin returning via Spinx Rock with the intention of viewing the sunset and full moon rising from Sphinx Rock.

Unfortunately the low cloud at the start is not a good omen.

However we head down to the Lenah Valley Track with hope that the clouds will lift before we return to Sphinx Rock.

We follow the North -South Track to Junction Cabin.

Discussing the formation of one of the numerous scree slopes on the way.

Relaxing with a bite to eat at Junction Cabin.

We then head back along the Lenah Valley Track towards Sphinx Rock trying to see the city though the trees.

And the mountain mist which appears to be getting thicker.

Getting ready for the moon rise.

And maybe a celebratory wine.

Mother Nature decides not to co-operate with our plans for today.

Packing up just on dusk to return to the cars.

I have no idea where the rest of the group is and hope someone has counted the heads.

 

14 hardy walkers covered just under 8 kms in 3.5 hours with stops  descending and climbing 180 meters.

Thanks to Joy for leading the walk and Chris for providing some additional photos.
