Write Up:A chilly start but we soon warmed up as we
headed up the very well graded trail. The
overgrown bushes meant that those in front
were getting a free shower so we switched out
leaders along the way. The trails though the
forest were wide and soft underfoot. We
encountered a few downed trees that required
stepping over or limboing under. Some of the
boardwalks need some TLC and we had a few
creek crossings to negotiate too. After all
that we made it to Kindersley Pass in 3 1/2
hours where we had a quick lunch before
returning the same way. Lots of flowers along
the trail, the highlights included one
solitary Striped Coralroot orchid, Drummond's
Anemones and a cluster of White Lady's Slipper
orchids. Also a very well defined bear track
in the mud, luckily no sight of the owner.
A long but great day out - stats were 16.6km
with a whopping 991m of cumulative elevation!!
