Hello!
We are back – actually been back a couple of days!!
The weather unfortunately turned on us, so even though we did some fabulous walking, we opted out of the mountains. No real point in making all the effort to see a 360 degree view of mist!
So – here’s me, pack, hat and gaiters ready for the haul up to Wild Dog Creek where we planned to camp.
It was a day of pretty steady ‘up’
Probably not the best time to realise that one is about 2 months overdue for her B12 jab. Hmmmm
Her Nurse Husband called and booked her in as soon as we got back (He knows something of my procrastinating ways)
So anyway… I stopped a lot.
(Admiring the views and taking photos)(and panting)
It was the end of a long weekend so we met a number of people coming back down. It was fairly busy up there apparently.
Sorry – lots of photos of Jeff’s bottom. 🙂
So much to look at – once you raise your eyes from your feet so you don’t fall over rocks that is!
The cool overcast morning was shaping up into a pretty nice afternoon.
Stream crossings
Trappers Hut.
You can actually do a circuit but we weren’t sure the first time out exactly what the area was like and the layout of things.
I think I’d be tempted to do the circuit next time rather than up and back.
Still heading up up up!
And if you stand about too long, trees eat you.
The trees start to change as we get higher and more big rocks to walk up and over.
I am going to finish up here tonight… my internet connection is like molasses today. I annoyingly spent ages chatting to the online ‘help’ only to end up with helper #3 saying they would ‘monitor’ the situation for 24 hours.
In my experience it means they will do bugger all so I’ll have to call back tomorrow and agonise with them while they try to blame my system first. (yes I’ve turned it on and off several times, no I haven’t changed any cables, no we don’t have any new devices added to our system and NO – you can’t SMS me because we don’t have a mobile phone and no, I am not running over to a neighbour to borrow one)(Can you see I am emotionally scarred from previous encounters?? haha)
Hope you are all having a lovely week and I’ll hopefully get some more photos uploaded so I can continue the story soon. (Its just at this rate I’ll make it to bed at 4am and I don’t have that much patience!)
Cheers!
