Return From The Vines - Soaking Wet

Here’s an Idea, Donjon in a Day the Long Way - Failed!

From the Locked Gate to The Vines

Eden - That’s a Wrap for 2025! Finished Strong, Rapha Festive 500 Done with an Everest Worth of Climbing!

National Parks has closed the normal route into Monolith Valley (The Castle) so thought I’d come in the back way….. 29kms from a locked gate (was able to ride 12km)! It took a lot longer than I would have liked with hundreds of fallen trees (from the fires) to negotiate and very rough terrain , and an often indistinguishable route. Then there was Donjon itself! The scrub at its base was so thick it was like a wall. I tried for half an hour to push through but found the going incredibly slow. I was nowhere near the climb to the top! As I still had to walk and ride the 29km back the decision was made to retreat. Donjon (French for Fortress) standing up to its namesake as a secure and impenetrable fortified keep, had defeated me again!!!
