Wooded Peak/Windy Point - Organiser: Dan McGuire
A beautiful day saw seven early birds at Brook Camp for a fitness effort. We climbed from the Brook Stream up to the Dun Line and stopped at Third House for morning tea. Then a steady climb up Wooded Peak revealed good views of Mt Richmond and other peaks. Over the top and through the bush from there, we came into the open for more splendid views of Fringe Hill right over to Nelson City. From Windy Point it was a race back to Brook Camp where we arrived in record time.
Participants: Uta Purcell, Andy Clark, Lindsay Twiname, Ian Pavitt, Ken Ridley, Jim Maxwell, and Dan McGuire.
All are candidates for a major expedition in the Kaikouras this summer.
