Sun and snow and a guy with long legs

Today Kiwi James and I went and explored one of the local rivers to give the legs the stretch, and both of us where keen to get a brake from the women:)
The weather was less than average, very windy, rain, sun and snow:)
The trip was off to a bloody bad start when James thought he'd bring the "curse" rather than his R93, good thing I had a proper walking stick:)
The highlight of the walk up was some rather attractive German trampers.......I had to drag James onwards kicking and screaming:)
There was plenty of animal sign around which is always good.
We climbed right up to nearly the saddle and had a look around in the wind.
It then started to snow so we headed out.
On the way down James went up another branch while I stayed in the main stream hoping to assist more trampers:)
James had a show down with a couple of stags that are still running........
On the way out after 6 hours walking we dam near ran over two spikers on track:)
And I learned that keeping up with a guy with two meter legs is hard work.
Hope everyone had a good weekend.
And if I've got too, two or to round the wrong way I'm sorry but shit happens:)

Cheers Brads, and good on you for getting out there despite the lovely HB weather. Shame no meat was forthcoming, but hey !
I had a little adventure with a VERY picturesque German backpacker myself today, but that story will have to keep till the next wooldshed ensemble

Nice one guys but you fullas had more luck than me yesty. I never saw any tourists.

Weather was bloody crap in the ruahines all weekend, i was further south and it was blowing it arse off, seen a couple of velvet stags though so not a waist of time.

Yeah I missed one the other day too which was rather annoying after the effort we put in to get to the area.

Great write up guys. As long as you have some sort of weather it is a good day.

:thumbsup: nice looking country mate

Unlucky Brads, thats a biggish hoof print there!!!!!

Nice one guys, Looking forward to next weekend off racing so i can get out for a walk :)
