Hywaida, Kris, Sonya, Kylie and meeeeee

The gang have been doing an annual pilgrimage to Blue Lake for a while now. This is the second time I’ve got to join them.

We did a day at Charlotte Pass where I gave skiing a go for the second time and had fun rumbling down green runs.

The following day we headed up to Guthaga, where it was like an random uni reunion for Kylie and her former class mates as well as a Blue mountains adventure crew hang out. Lots of coincidental trips with like minded people over the weekend.

We said our g’days and yakked then went our separate way and shoed out to little twynam.

Well, Sonya, Kylie and I shoed Kris and Hywaida decided it was icy enough to. Just use crampons. This proved a wise choice and one we’d all adopt for the rest of the weekend.

I say “we” but Kylie pretty much set up ours on her own. I was in a mind daze and struggling physically. Belatedly I realised I hadn’t had any thing to drink all day. Rooky mistake

A shot of Thorzt in my water bottle and I came good and set about building a rough kitchen

Next day we were up early to make the most of the good weather to play around on the ice walls.

Back at camp
