Changeable December

It doesn't really snow here in December. You have to be up on top of the mountain for that but it was good to see the snow again.

Tongariro Alpine Crossing

Tongariro Alpine Crossing plus Tongariro summit detour- 6 hours- not bad going. I told the boys we'd have time to do both summits in the 8 hours, but sorry Ngauruhoe you'll have to wait for another day.


 Looking at how tired the boys were and the weather at the end maybe it was a good thing we didn't!


Don't worry Ngauruhoe I'll be back in a wee while with my gloves and long trousers on to protect me from the scree, as I fear I'll be scrambling up you on my hands and knees and slipping down on my rear.
