I knew this walk was going to challenge me and whilst I didn’t reach my objective I was happy with what I experienced, how far I got, and my photos.
I’d have photos of the Budawangs on my TV screensaver for months, salivating at the views from The Castle. After examining maps and reading others’ accounts of their trips I was pretty sure The Castle was unachievable for me. I was happy to settle for reaching the base of Mt Cole. In the end I decided to tackle Byangee Mountain.
