Climbing Mount Karetu

Fresh snow from the day is a good reason to go tramping in the middle of winter!

Mount Karetu

Winter tramping

This Sunday we did a trip from Port Levy over Mount Herbert and Mount Bradley to Gebbies Pass. The weather at the top of Mount Herbert was appalling, with poor visibility and a lazy breaze cooling things down. We stopped at the Mount Herbert Shelter for lunch and Sign of the Packhouse for afternoon tea.

Weekend in Auckland

I had a weekend course in Auckland. I stayed in Birkenhead and took the ferry across the harbour to Queen Street.
