The cover image is a shot I took above 45 Degree Gorge. Michael Hampton and I were checking out this cave (which directly overlooks the gorge) with the view to using it as a bivy cave in the future. Great spot. The images in this feature help convey something of the rugged nature of what is arguably one of the most serious and remote long-distance walks in Australia. The Chewings Range stretches 180km west from Alice Springs and is composed of many of the highest and most spectacular mountains within the semi-arid West MacDonnell National Park. The first seven days of the range follows the famous Larapinta Trail but leaves it at Hugh Gorge. The next two weeks are devoid of walking trails and sections of the Chewings Range are not covered by any detailed maps. Instead, we relied on our GPS and the experience we have built up from previous remote walks in the area. Despite a fairly dry year we had no real problems finding drinking water (although a number of waterholes and springs had been badly fouled by cattle).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/glenntempest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/milton_park.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-309\" title=\"milton_park\" src=\"https:\/\/glenntempest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/milton_park.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glenntempest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/milton_park.jpg 400w, https:\/\/glenntempest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/milton_park-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those following this blog may have read my short piece on the three week, 250km walk we did across the Chewings Range in the Northern Territory last winter (chewings-range-traverse).
