Wednesday 12th April

Today we travelled by foot up the steeper track to St MAry's Peak.  An approaching storm and moss covered rocks helped make the decision to stop at TAnderra Saddle where the views werew still superb.  We took the long way back to camp - 18km for the day - and David's feet bear the blisters to prove it.  The M2006 volunteers rain poncho and hat kept Cathy dry as steady light rain fell for the next 12 hours.
