Simon's Hill Expedition.

This week has culminated in 103 kms so a slow taper begins from here on in. Fundraising has steadliy reached close  to $1000 so many thanks for those contributions to BBCA.

Todays trip is 2 weeks from the Molesworth and saw a group of us explore the Simons Hill Station courtesy of owners Peter and Jane. The trip was 24 km with 681 meters of ascent/descent. 14 of us from age 4 onwards jogged/walked /mountain biked / 4WD'd in different combinations up and round Simons Hill. Simon was a maori boy from Banks peninsula who accompanied one of the party members that crossed into the Mackenzie Basin onto  the first sheep run in 1856.

Halfway round. Mt Cook ever-present.

Probably the Best Barbecue in the world. Many Thanks Peter and Jane. This running lark gets really tough at times ( should I have seconds/thirds or fourths?).

Ka Kite.
