Luke Pen Walk

Directions - From the centre of Albany, find your way to Ulster Rd heading north and keep following this as it becomes Lower King Rd. Keep going until it becomes Nanarup Rd, turning left just after the Kalgan River Bridge onto East Bank Rd. Follow this all the way to the end where you'll find a car park and a trail head.

The Hike - Having scaled four of the six day hikes in the Stirling Range in the past two days I had my sights set on the Porongurups on Day Three, followed by what I had hoped was a clear summit of Bluff Knoll before the rain came in the late afternoon. This was based off a weather forecast I had seen three days previous and I had not checked my weather app when I was on top of one of the peaks in the past two days. This meant I was not expecting any weather until the afternoon and woke up to the sound of rain on my tent. With no reception at Moingup Springs I had no way of knowing when it would stop. This put me in a bit of a pickle because the plan had been to visit Nancy Peak and Devils Slide so I could share it with everyone on here but if the rain and clouds were going to be around for the day then the photos would be a collage of different shades of grey.
