22 June 2003: Gordons Knob Leader: Ruth Hesselyn
The initial list of seventeen had dwindled by the time we left Nelson, two called in sick and two just didn't show up! So, after a delayed start, the remaining thirteen and a half of us bumped our way up to Inwards Lookout, where we set forth under summer time blue skies about 9.30am. Lunch and views were enjoyed in a sheltered spot near the summit, then it was a quick descent down snow slopes, tussocks, rocks and through bush to the saddle. As it was still fairly early, we made a slight detour up to the main ridge and those that hadn't been to North Peak before, had the chance to do so. The rest of us were lazy and relaxed in the sun. Then it was back to the cars and Nelson by 5pm after a very pleasant day. The fellow trampers were Andrew Hutchison, Andrew ?, Arthur Jonas, Dion Pont, Don Brooker, Gary Russell, Grahame Harris, Lesley Friend, Peter Wise, Roger Bruce, Uta Purcell and Yvonne Kyle, plus Skye Hesselyn.
