Something unique today: my flatmate Rob and I are going on a hike, to Mt Herbert. Normally going to Mt Herbert is a full day’s walk but if you go via The Monument<\/a> (the high rock in this photo) the trip is significantly shortened<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

So that’s what we are doing today, first the Monument Track North, followed by the Summit Link Track and then Mt Herbert. Here we are on the link track looking north towards Lyttelton Harbour<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Same place but looking back<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Now we’re on the ridge, after maybe 1.5 hours of walking, from here on it’s an easy walk to Mt Herbert summit<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Flatmate Rob at the summit, what a hero!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Lyttelton Harbour with Quail Island, Lyttelton itself, the mountains in the distance and the beach all the way to Kaikoura<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Me and Rob at the summit<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Looking east<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

looking a little more south, towards Lake Ellesmere and Kaitorete Split<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Radio equipment, but what for? Weather station?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Rob keeping an eye on things<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And we’re on our way back again<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The Monument<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Another look north<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Map of our relaxing trip, just over 11 km in 4 hours<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
