no photosDespite the early start, 6.30 at Sue's, I was keen to do this one. I wore panty hose to protect from leeches. We started at the end of the Topaz Road and walked out toward Broken Nose.About 12 of us Ian, Noel, Sue, Steve from NZ, Brian, Steve Kilpatrick, Keith Halfpapp [57th birthday], Jo, Marie [?], Trish Veivers, Pat Gillespie and another plump girl. We started walking at 8.20 and got back to the cars at 4.50. A long day. I ran low on blood sugar before lunch and struggled home, helped with barley sugar and glucose donations, but no leeches got me. It was a good walk. In future I must take high energy food and have a high energy breakfast instead of light healthy food.
