My first hiking trip with a great bunch of guys to Brock's Hut about 12 km as the crow fly's from station. Had organised our food and beverages to be dropped of by helicopter the night before. That was to be realised being smart utilizing fossil fuel to ease the burden of the weight in our back sacks.
We also cheated a little by being given a ride about 3 km up Dingle road to Dingle Lake in the picture above.
Off we go walking under are own steam eager with the adventure ahead.
A view from a hill.
Tim tearing apart a rock with his super human strength.
Life is good only early days legs doing just fine.
The team plotting our course. From right Brent, Brad, Tim and Rod confirming our exact location by checking the map against surrounding features.
Putting on ice chains to negotiate our travel safely over blue ice.
Spirits are high we are nearly there.
Staying focused as we approach the shore line navigating away from the holes in the ice close to shore.
Our Boodwha for the night with all the modern con's
In for landing the feeling of taking that back pack off after some 3 hours was uplifting. Was a great afternoon starving hungry, very thirsty so we started getting some structure quench that thirst first.
