Leader: Dan McGuire

Eleven fit trampers started early for an assault on Dun Mountain and Little Twin, despite the inclement weather.  The rain cleared just in time for the early start, but it was very cold.  As we approached Dun Saddle, there was plenty of snow and ice.  The higher we climbed, the fiercer and colder the wind blew. The discomfort was compensated by the magic, ice and crystal-covered rocks and bush.  It was decided to have lunch at the Dun Mountian Shelter in order to get out of the fierce wind. Leah made herself a sure club member by passing around her home-baked Rocky Road, which was excellent. Afterwards, we continued through the snow to Little Twin, then down to Dew Lakes through rain-created mush. Once out of the wind, we stopped in the sun for afternoon tea. Everyone arrived down at the dam tired, but pleased.
