running terrain long 2:00:00 [3] ** +919m
Beautiful climb from the Charteris Bay, Banks Peninsula up Mount Herbert (919m). Left from Lara's family bach, looped up through farmland and bush to tussock ridgeline and down farm tracks to Russells bach. The harbour was like a mill pond. Nice views out toward Akaroa and up to the Kaikoras. Grey over the Canterbury plains, but we were in the sun.
Felt good on the hill, though a bit stiff on the long down hill.
Lost contact with the map (1:50000) for a short period. odd.
