By 5.00 pm we had walked more-than half the distance, and quite a few beautiful peaks were climbed en route. Sometimes there were big rock steps in the ridge -which meant finding a way around them. | + | |
- | Then, wodbetide us, we elected to sidle a peak rather-than climb over the top of it. The scrub, and its difficulty of penetration, | + | |
- | , step after the other. Rest stops to take in more calories, more chocolate and nuts. The final descent to the beach at Lake Mike was horrendous. . Choked with scrub on incredibly steep slopes. (I had my ears unwillingly pierced by a branch.) Note that the branches and scrub here do not bend nor break to allow you to pass through. Rather they have a-nasty habit of springing back and giving you a whack before sending you flying backwards into the air. On the descent my rucksack fell to pieces, | + | |
