Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 11th February.

We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.

Last Saturday there was already quite a lot of snow on the ground even at sea level and the roads were still in poor condition for driving.  We figured it would be best to stay close to home so we set off along School Rd and just hiked in a circle on the old logging roads then back to the main road near the Community Hall.  The time and distance were much shorter than usual, but the depth of the snow and it's heavy consistency meant it was quite hard work even without going very much uphill.  Since then we have had more snowfall and I'm just wondering how things will be on next Saturday.  It has been raining quite a bit today and it should be somewhat milder as we get into the weekend.
