Time to revisit Peak Hill, I say revisit as I’ve been here before, long ago

This time I start at the official start of the track, last time I approached from the west

Just a few minutes into the walk, looking back, car park and Mt Hutt in the distance

It’s quite steep, and when you think you are close to the summit it turns out the real summit is still a little further

Nice path, shouldn’t be much longer now

The view back, Lake Coleridge and the Big Ben Range in the distance with snow on it

The summit!

I sent up the drone for some footage, Lake Coleridge to my right, Mt Oakden straight ahead

I’ll be walking the track as a loop today, this is the side of the mountain where I’ll be going downhill

It’s quite busy today

A number of landout sites for gliders in this photo. The Cragieburn Range in the distance with snow on it

The Rakaia River, Mt Arrowsmith in snow on the left

Lake Coleridge again and the path leading towards the summit

My hoodie drying

Once again Coleridge, Craigies and also Red Hill (the one with just a little topping of snow)

On the way down now, Craigies and Mt Olympus to my right

The way down, you must pass through this little canyon

Looking back towards the top, the moon is also visible

From here on it’s an easy walk down to the road

Somewhere along the Coleridge Road, sheep enjoying the grass and the little bit of sunshine that’s left for today
