So, quite a while ago I went tramping in the Mt. Owen region with Mhairi,Marcel, Dave and Anthony… it was a fairly eventful trip and one I’d not care to repeat (well, it’d be lovely to tramp with them again, but the whole Anthony-falling-concussion-helicopter thing I could do without)
Anyway, this time it was back with Thor & his lovely wife Jess and our friend Anna. Headed up on (Good) Friday… Anna and I had forgotten to get some drink.. and while we couldn’t in the supermarket…
did manage to pick up a bottle of palatable whiskey for the cold nights ahead.
The walk in is a bit of a slog (pretty much 6 hours uphill)

On Easter Sunday the Easter bunny arrived for the newlyweds, and they found a substantial amount of eggs around our tent…

The walk to the summit (5 hours return to the tents) is really interesting – as it’s a karst landscape.. really good fun. There was a bit of low cloud, but we had pretty decent views for most of the day – and fortunately weren’t baked by the sun!

Had my cream egg on the summit – tasted delicious after lugging it all the way up there :) And I think the other photo below is looking down towards sunrise ridge where all the excitement happened on the last trip… very pleased there was nothing like that this time!

So yes, a great Easter- thanks to Thor & Jess and Anna for a really wonderful weekend.
