For those who have only viewed the Glasshouse Mountains from Steve Irwin Way or even the Glasshouse Mountains lookout, you cannot truly appreciate how spectacular they are until you get close up to them.
Luckily, Ian Javes took this into account when he included the Mt Beerwah loop in the Glasshouse mountain series. This section takes you right to the foot of the tallest peak in Glasshouse Mountains and it's truly stunning. Unfortunately, the section is probably the most testing (I think anyway) of all on the western course.
After a couple of weeks of sporadic training, I managed to get out today and do two loops (the second with a mate) starting each from the lookout.
I raised a nice blister (taped the existing one up and didn't bother with the good foot and paid a small price) that I caught just in time to carry out some running repairs but it was worth it.
It wasn't at breakneck speed but it was a good workout and will hopefully give me the impetus to get back on track. Happy days!
