Walking the Milford Track

We returned to Havelock North today after spending 12 days, travelling down to Queenstown to walk the Milford Track. There were 9 of us in our “Blue Shirts” team, coming from as far afield as Canberra. The team also had both my sisters, Kerry and Penny, as well as my brother-in-law Dave and good friend Jane. We began the walk on 6th April, in overcast conditions but were fortunate enough to experience no rain whatsoever! It was a brilliant experience, helped by the weather and the fact it was a guided trip with all our meals catered each day. I was apprehensive before starting the second day’s walk, as we actually climb the Southern Alps, via the McKinnon Pass at 1154 meters. I made it, with the help of my sister Penny and good friend Jane, who talked me up! The “Blue Team were all thrilled to have made it over the Alps and posed for this photo.

We all made it over the McKinnon Pass, plus George on the right!
