Mt Gomorrah. Organiser: Andy Clark
A fine day was ordered and that was what we got. On arriving at the Dart Ford it was over the bank and across a slippery Wangapeka River to the other side. We headed up stream, getting to Prospect Creek while only a few times losing the route. Prospect Creek provided a couple of members with wasp stings and then it was on and up the unmaintained ridge track. The track took a bit of locating at times but most of the markers were still on the trees which helped. Regenerating bush proved tiring to push through but in due course views of our goal were gained as was the bush edge. A short scramble over an easy ridge had six of us on the top at 2pm. Mt Sodom beckoned but not too many others were keen on a return trip on this rough bush covered track. The return to the cars went well, arriving back at 6.45pm. Ice creams etc at Tapawera rounded out this trip to a seldom visited peak of the Mt Arthur range.
Fellow bush bashers were Ruth Hesselyn, Jocelyn Win, Mark Stevens, Dion Pont, Dan McGuire, Carol Crocker and Grahame Harris.
