Day 2 Kiama to Bundanoon.

Distance: 75km

Total Ascent: 1644m

Day 2 saw us climbing the biggest climb of our lives, over 600 metres vertically up. The climb gives you no rest bite, starting at over 20% gradient and gradually easing off to 12%, this local attraction makes grown men cry! Raising from the Pacific Ocean, the Jamberoo Pass winds its way up a beautiful forest road finally finishing at the world famous "Robertson pie Shop". Not all survived the climb without dismounting. Phil (our support crew driver) did some fancy three point turns on some of the hairpins to save a couple of us. We recommend staying at the Kiama Blowhole Cabins as the owner, Margaret, waved our accommodation expenses for our cause. Amazingly she has a very sick daughter but was kind enough to still think of others. We Stayed at Bundanoon and were able to dodge any locals from the Balangalo Forest looking for stray English Backpackers.
