The last day of my short holiday, I want to use it well so decide to walk the Mt Grey loop track<\/a>, the first part is just through forest like this<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Sometimes you get a bit of a clear view of the sky<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Until you get to about here, maybe 45 minutes from the top, which is also as far as Rachel and I got here a little while back<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

But this time I continue, all the way to the top, which I assumed to be where that antenna is<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

But that’s not the case, it’s a little further and higher, perfect timing to reach the summit as the sun is finally coming out now<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Another summit conquered!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

So I came via the Mt Grey Track but complete the loop by returning via the Red Beech Track<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Tell me something I don’t know…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Red Beech Track, the track goes on and on and on through that green covered forest<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And it’s actually nippy here, my breath condenses and the track is slippery in places, still an awesome track<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Many Rivers too Cross… nah, just this one, the Grey River<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Some old hut near the end of the 5.5 hour long track, I definitely feel my legs after all that walking recently, time to go home and soak in the pool!!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Map and height profile of today’s hike (14.2 km)<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
