I used to hike quite a bit so it was getting back to my routine, I've gone for bush walks all over Australia. You're in a beautiful place for it.

Plus getting out in the fresh air when you're sober is a gift from the universe!
Thanks Mindful. That gives me some hope. I am being referred for PT as well for balance. Love the Aussie compliment.
