I Climbed Ayers Rock and Kings Canyon With A Broken Foot

25. July 2011, 6:37 pmholiday, netballadmin

Apparently.

Well, I didn’t get that far up Ayers Rock.

But I did do the entire Rim Walk of Kings Canyon (just over 6km including plenty of steps to get up there - the hardest part was coming down the slope mind you).

And it would seem I do have a small chip out of my left ankle.

Nothing too serious (well, no more serious than the serious sprain we thought it was).

However, it does mean I’m unlikely to play anymore netball this season. :(

And it does explain the amount of pain I am still having.

Especially when hubby rolls over during the night and kicks or brushes my ankle with his foot.

So, rest and physio and sitting on the sidelines at netball is what my immediate future holds.

Bet there aren’t too many people who can say they climbed Ayers Rock with a broken foot!

If you look at the image above, I made it to the top of the rocky bits.  You can see where they finish about 3/4 of the way up the image on the left hand side.

It wasn’t hugely high in the scheme of the over all climb but not too bad an effort with a broken ankle, eh?

    Well done on getting so high with a broken ankle. I’d be a sissy and stay at the bottom taking photos.
    Pity about the netball though. Still, there’s next season.

    It might have been different if we’d known back then it was actually broken. Although it’s just a small chip. Not sure DH would have even LET me try!
