Toil And Trouble

Toil And Trouble

Several weeks ago the club made a southern crossing. When we left Otaki Forks the sky was overcast and rain fell at intervals. At Kime we were surrounded by mists but we started for Alpha and reached a point on the Razorback Just beyond Hector before a strong wind forced us to retreat. Next morning we were again enveloped in cloud, but the mist lifted as we reached Atkinson. In the south, across Hutt Valley, we could Just distinguish the Kalkouras. On the north-east was the Wairarapa Plain, with glimpses of the northern peaks at intervals.

Bad weather and lack of support caused the abandonment of a Palllser Bay trip. All trampers should watch for notices and be sure to attend the annual meeting of the club on Wednesday. 19th April.
