Some context before the story (was scrolling thru old photos and totally forgot I did this lol and thought yal might enjoy this) long story
Close to a year ago (photos say October 29th 12:15pm, I wouldn’t have remembered the date without the photos😂)
My 3 chooks needed some chook feed and usually my mate would drop some when he needed some for his, he’s got chooks too so it was a win win. Usually just paid him buuuut this time round he wouldn’t be able to drop it to mine (were in the hills and I can’t drive- yet)
So, I thought would be good idea to just lug them back and have a drink to finish the day. Anyone who knows these poultry bags know how HEAVY AF they are 20kg each. I was feelin adventurous and just felt like doin it. So I got my backpack, some water and phone, trolley and off I went.
Anyway.. I jumped on a bus with my trolley to RM smiths and sons down the hill near the intersection, wasn’t sure if was allowed to bring bags of chook food on the bus so I thought yolo I got this ez I’ll just walk up lesmurdie falls to get home😂😂
Important to mention I wore hi vis socks so dw about my safety AND gloves.
Walked thru forestfield and greeted an elder lady, we spoke abt the weather and I carried on. Loads of folks drove by me, said hey to some puppies in someone’s yard and made my way to the bottom of lesmurdie falls.
The hill was daunting as I was approaching on the roads🫠 looked at some horses and made it to the car park at the bottom of the falls.
I had a break for like 10 mins was already questioning my mortality at this point, I sat down and just didn’t wanna move lmao but knew I had too
There were people out walking and ngl I felt a bit embarrassed, I said hi to a couple that eyed me down like this 🧐🧐 they didn’t say hi back.. I felt suss af
After that I didn’t wanna directly walk up the main track that goes up thru the falls as felt like I’d be in peoples way and get judged, my peak introvert moment here
So I began my slow ascent up the track 1 step a time.. legit was sweating hard and wasn’t even a few metres in, heart was racing.
I went up the track that leads to the end road at the top (those who’ve walked this know how dangerous this shi way is, rocky ass slippery steep trek)
From memory, the bags slipped a few times so I had to stop and put them back on the trolley🥲 it was agony, legs shaky and muscles pumping hard with every damn step. My mind was strugglin, slipped on my ass a few times, cursed alooot.. I was fearful the bags would break so I had to keep them balanced
About 1/3 of the way through, 2 absolute beautiful women walked by me down the hill (one sounded european ish) important to mention this lol, they gave me encouraging words and wished me luck.) boosted my motivation by atleast 1000% and I blushed, or was dying of overheating probs both)
so I kept pushing onward.. took a lot of little breaks at different points absorbing the view. Sun was baking me good for a while and ran out of water
By the time I was nearing the way to the top, steep ass hills just never stopped legit just kept on going😂😭 I took these photos of the track behind me and then pissed on a big rock next to the track, took in the view as I let it out. Divine
(Sorry I didn’t take better pics was just wanting to get home)
Was so light headed and feint ish I recall I just didn’t give af where I pissed at the time, definitely had my back to the city in full view and might’ve got some on my pants. Am honest, it was tuff
When I made it to the top I felt like I just achieved the impossible.. was some folks chilling in their car that watched me just pop out on the side of the road with this trolley lookin sweaty and suss af with my face lookin like this 👁️👄👁️
Then walked another 40 mins to home.. the roads were a lot smoother than the rocky ground I trekked up but I pushed on.. was a relief to be alive lmao was cooked
When I got home, had lemonade and filled up my birb feeders.. had to shower as my clothes were soaked with sweat. Had aching feet and legs for days w/ some blisters.
Had a drink and slept 🛌
But ye, forgot I did this till I saw the photos lol😂
This was the 2nd time I carried something up this track hence why I chose this way
Till our next story time, I love perth😂✌️
