Kanangra Walls to the Cox's River & return, well thats what it started out as. November 2018

Kanangra to Katooma (K2K) is one of the iconic walks of the Blue Mountains, it is similar in length and fame as the Six Foot Track. The K2K is more difficult than the Six Foot. The logistics for me to do the total K2K as one walk is just too hard.   This walk was a crack at the western half, Kanangra to Splendour Rock or there about's, I had already covered Katoomba to Splendour Rock.
The day started out as a beautiful but quickly deteriorated, by lunch time there was lots of thunder, lightening and black clouds. I wasn't even half way to Dex's Creek the closest spot suitable for camping.
After much consideration while eating my lunch I turned around and headed back to the ute. Luckily the rain held off until after I got back up on the Kanangra Plateau. The climb onto the plateau involves negotiating  Smith's Pass, this pass is difficult, and I was glad the rain held off until I was back on the plateau.

I came across this young dingo on the way into the start of the walk

This cave is near the start of the walk
