More Mountain Pics

Ystdy Dad and I did the Pouakai Circuit, mostly cos I'm an idiot and said hey lets do it going in the other direction, silly silly mistake on my part.  Did get to see a nice start to the sunrise before we set off though which was cool, the central mountains were looking very nice :)  The walk itself was hot and long and there were far too many steps both uphill and down, I came to the conclusion that tramping is an evil and barbaric form of torture and that it is bad parenting to let your kids do a walk like that, and yes I told dad that and he politely reminded me it was my idea in the first place (and here I was thinking he was getting old and forgetful lol).

Pretty sunrise, worth waking up for

Made it to the shelter and Missie was still in a good mood :)

Dad at the Tarns, just taking his photo

Too windy for a reflection but still worth a photo :)

Two H's

This morning Doffy and I went up Hooker Shelter then to Hasties Hill.  As the cloud was sitting around the top and not shifting if anything it was getting lower we decided not to head any higher than Hooker Shelter, well that was one reason but the main one was probably that walking just up up up is very tiring and boring and neither of us felt like we were up to going to Syme Hut today and there is not much point continuing with that track if not doing Syme Hut or Lake Dive Hut.  So we heading back to the Lower Lake Dive Hut turnoff to head to Hasties Hill.  Hasties Hill was worth the annoying up and down and washed out track then mega overgrown track to get to it (Brudda if you decide to bring home your slasher one day there is a job for you :p), got a nice view of a now clear mountain :)

Chilling at Hillary Rock, Sus photo-bombed us while looking a lil sinister
