    Work Didn't Get In The Way!

    Back in the Ruahine Ranges today to climb this slip I saw a deer on a few weeks back.

    Sidling the ridge with the creek bed far below I kept stalking thru the bush slowly heading lower towards the creek and carpark.

    I butchered the meat and saddled my pack...f**k in heavy when I only way 58kg.
    The route I made back down to the creek bed was almost vertical.

    It was ass sliding material and monkey swing with one hand to slow the decent from the ridge.

    Temperature has dropped to 4 degrees now but don't trust that chain on the labrador with hares and deer legs swinging off the clothesline.
    Hope @mrs dundee don't need a shower in the morning..lol
