Made the most of a hideous forecast to get out and about on sunday. The main range was enduring thunderstorms, heavy rain and gale to severe gales. But the eastern foothills got the a light splattering of sleet driven to stinging velocity by winds that were still 60+ kmh!
We aimed to find 3 different geocaches during the day, the first not very far at all from another potential Canyon!
The track was of very high quality for the majority of the circuit, with just a few bogs and a slip or two to deal with.
Near the modest summit of Mt Richardson Geoff found the second cache and we snuck into the shelter of the bush to munch on lunch. The sleet began to sting a little, so we hurried east along the semi open ridge line towards the third cache that was also easily located.
Descending south off the ridge, the conditions seemed warmer as we became more sheltered. Back near the car it was balmy! The trip was topped off with a delicious hot chocolate at Jo Seagars cafe :)
