Happy New Year!
We decided to pack up a picnic, and walk up a mountain to start 2018.
Fiona came along with us too.
We probably hiked about 7 hours – 17kms up Mt Roland & back.
It was just gorgeous.
Its a reasonable slog up for most of the way. It stops been quite so steep at about the 2/3rds point
It was really lovely stopping to have lunch & a rest. Fabulous views.
Tiny wildflowers carpeted the mountain side as we got closer to the top
Of course, its never quite over until you reach the trig point! And just before that there are a number of boulders to navigate and climb before you’re done!
Its always so worth it when you reach the top of these places!
I have more photos but I am a ‘bit’ tired tonight, so will have to add them to my vast list of post processing jobs.
Anyone else do something mad on the first day of the year??
Cheers
