Pinnacles

I've heard about this tramp so many times and being the tramper I am it was criminal to not do it so on Sunday of labour weekend I latched onto a group going down from Auckland and did it. Apart from all the Aucklanders everywhere it was beautiful. It was incredibly windy up the top, we were clinging to the rocks to stay on - all good fun. In my view it was a bit of a tame tramp - short distance with wide tracks and lush hut facilities. If you're not much of a tramper or bushlover then its a great little excursion.

Fun and games! We did it on ANZAC day a couple of years ago.

I loved my walking stick on those steps!

Hey you! The guy in the pictures in the south island is my brother (my big-little bro) and the one on the mountain is just an army mate. No action on the man-front for now! I would so love to explore the phillipines eh, sounds beautiful. Will email you soon. I'm in exams now...
