Nice work, Im also waiting for more now

[sthughes]

Grrr - Internet connection crapped itself last night so thats as far as I got! Tried it this morning and eventually after going old school with an ethernet cable to the router/modem I found out the modem has been reset to factory defaults - all by itself!! So now I have to ring AAPT tonight and get all the setting off them again and see if I can't ge it logging on again! Oh how annoying! Hopfully there will be more photos when it's all sorted out - or before I smash the damn modem!
NOT HAPPY JAN!

Guys!

Cracker photos, seriously! I really am going to kick myself repeatedly for not coming along! Oh well, at least I get to see the pics!

Oh yes... corvus, one other thing:

l8r the snow was twice as deep as we experienced on the 12th

See these two photos at the same place from the 12th and the 19th/20th respectively:





.... exaggeration much!?

Decending Hansons Peak

Well thats it - I forgot to take one back at the car - but rest assured, we made it out!

Was a great walk, great company, great weather on day one and not bad on day two considering the forecast. And what a great night! The scenery was the best I've ever seen up there.
