Next Hike

The next hike will be on Saturday, 7th January.

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

Last week for a change the hiking Texadans were out numbered by visiting hikers. It was a cool, cloudy day with limited visibility, but we headed for the high ground in search of views for the visitors. When we reached the parking spot for the Mt. Grant trail there was a thin layer of ice pellets and snow on the road so we needed to move quickly to keep warm.  Tackling the steep northern slopes of the mountain soon had most of us shedding layers, but we were glad to put them on again at the rocky lunch spot.  The sun came out while we ate and the view opened up, but then was quickly lost again as a fog belt rolled in with a cold breeze.
