| Easy run up Maori hill to pick up the van from a WOF test. It doesn't look good for the van -- the rust bucket is on its last legs. My legs, on the other hand, felt better and enjoyed an easy day. |

| Carey's Creek with Lara. Orienteering at Seacliff was canceled due to threatening weather (still not sure what was particularly bad about the forecast). Anyway, we had already made it to that side of the mountain, so we went up Careys Creek, up the honey comb track and down rangonora track. Very nice. cool and damp. One sleety squall, otherwise, perfect. |

| Swampy summit with Lara. Ran from the bull pen to possum track. Lots of blowdown and a few land slips, which wiped out the track, made the going pretty rough. Lots of bashing across/over/through Himalayan honeysuckle, bushlawyer, and 2m high tussocks -- very slow going! Climbed back up Swampy and across the ridgeline to Flagstaff. Birds were going off today -- silver-eyes, bellbirds, tomtits, warblers, fantails, and even heard the faint 'pi' and 'uu-ick' of a fernbird. Blood sugar crashed on Swampy Summit and I felt completely wasted on the 'downs' to Flagstaff (strangely the 'ups' were fine). The hot cocoa and sandwiches waiting in the car were a welcome sight... |
