Mt Hodder. Organiser: Jim Maxwell

The day started cold but clear on our climb up Lodestone to get to Mt Hodder. The saddle between them was very steep in places but the scrub was easy to get through. The route is used as a poison and trap line by DOC. Lunch was had near the top of Hodder where it was calm and warm in the sun. We continued west along the top and then dropped steeply down towards Flora Stream until we ran out of track. From here it was a map reading exercise to find the nearest feature on the map (a small almost level area) and set a straight course to a chosen spot on the track back to the Flora car park. Participants:- Grahame Harris, Shirley Gabrielsen, Margaret Page, Ruth Hesselyn, Mary Honey, Marianne Hermsen, David Nielsen, Anita Robertson, Kathy Harrison, & Christine Hoy.
