Dry slide!- Main Range hike 2011

[Coopski]

Ha! Yes there was no running on my behalf...more a meander. Top effort though. Mind you I must say we meant to meander but actually went at a cracking pace which got us into camp at 1. But hey that's ok we were both considering going up Townsend, but then opted to lounge in the sun on our mats and drink wine :-) T'was a lovely afternoon really :-)

Right! This may take a while due to being on my phone.

Snowy river looking gorgeous in the mid morning sun



The weather was mostly gorgeous though the clouds swallowed us up at lunch time.



Lake Albina as the clouds start to lift



Our wonderful campsite next to Wilkinsons creek with Mt Kozi in the background



Scenery shots at sunset

Townsend in the morning sun (the view from the door of my tent :-)



One slightly frozen tipi



The view from on top of Oz



Seamans Hut. It was nice to finally go here (though also upsetting) as it was nice to finally see the memorial for my friend who was one of the four snowboarders who perished near by in a snow cave.



And a final shot of the snowy on the way back out



As you can see we were absolutely spoilt with the weather. Simply stunning (though my fair skinned girlfriend is still paying the price for not wearing sunscreen on the first day ;-)
