Walk 2:26:08 [3] 12.71 km (11:30 / km) +355m 10:05 / km
shoes: Cascadia
As quick as possible to Kosciuszko summit and back, from Thredbo top station. After roasting in Canberra we were transferred to an alternate universe today. Cold, wind and rain. Apparent temp when we finished was zero, and it was a lot warmer at the top of Thredbo than out on the mountain! All 3 of us were blown off the board walk at various times (steel grate with no grip). Aoife had one bad slip, Eoin and I were very lucky. Despite feeling very under prepared with no rain coat, I think we were faring much better than all the crazy people in ponchos. They were a danger flapping in the breeze. Saw 2 groups of work colleagues plus Fedor and Ariadna. They had all calmed out over night and were doing it a lot tougher than us!
Treated myself to a new jacket at the bottom as was completely frozen.
