Mount Horrible- Otamatakou, 17 May 2015

It was an early start at 7am at carpark for all (just one straggler arriving as the clock struck 7 as he had slept in having woken up at 6.50am, no breakfast and only managed to get his socks on before breaking two road rules to get to the meeting place by the departure time – wont mention his name!!!!) There was a great turn out with 15 members, Maurice, Phyllis, Tim, Bronwyn, Theresa, Linda, Robbie, Neville, John, Jane, Steve and Ann, Marcel, Noel and Ross. We travelled in 4 vehicles arriving at the track car park next to the camping grounds around 8.30am weather being overcast and a light northerly wind. We followed doc markers to the Otamatakou Station boundary and followed the 4WD track up the mountain for roughly 300m and made a right turn and climbed up to a small saddle and then over to the ridge. We are reassembled at the ridge and then followed the ridge to the fence line which we followed to the top. We had great views but a very cold wind. We spent around 45 minutes at the top before making our way back down to the vehicles. We headed for home with Jane and her car load stopping for icecreams at Kurow. Noel
