Vintage and classic,

How strange. To be sleeping in the same room as my brothers and sister. Takes me back to childhood\u2026 more snoring these days, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After breakfast, we hit the track again. The sky was clear and, although it was windy, it was good conditions for walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first part of the walk climbs up and over Arthurs Peak. It\u2019s a steep climb and we took it easy. At the top we had a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all that climbing, it was good to be going downhill for awhile. The tractor sounds quite steeply and their reviews back to Arthurs Peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My eldest brother, Philip, was supporting some vintage gear. Here he is modelling his Jurassic Pack next to a sign that says Jurassic Crack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The track continues southwards, close to the shoreline. There are many places to stop and enjoy the views, and we took advantage of quite a few of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The track then travels eastwoods until it meets the Old Cape Pillar track. Here we turned right and, shortly afterwards, stopped in a nondescript part of the track for lunch. Of course, 100 m further along the track we passed a much nicer place to stop for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After lunch, it was a one hour walk to Munro hut, where we would be staying for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next morning, the sky slowly lightened, and people gathered at the helipad to enjoy the views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
