Calvert's Hill from Cremorne Beach
Today we were led by Tas to the top of Calvert's Hill from Cremorne beach, while another group made its way round the Spit.
We all enjoyed fabulous views and cool, cloudy but dry conditions.

Northwards along Cremorne Beach
At this point the smaller group returned to follow the shoreline southwards, with Cape Deslacs in front of them.
Yay!

The rest headed up a little treacherous track northwards
It was nice to get out of the chilly breeze and everyone negotiated the goat track with ease.
Looking back to see the others disappearing into the distance
We followed the coastal strip
Past several ponds with interesting footprints in the mud at the edges
Looking across to Primrose Sands
It was a bit up and down, but mainly up.
Tas in the lead
Some portraits
Wayne had a go at cow whispering
with help from Kay
By now we are climbing steeply (see the elevation map at the end)
kunanyi Mt. Wellington barely visible today
We reach the summit
Looking down on the Spit, no sign of the others
The view southwards to Pipeclay Lagoon
And the descent, short and sweet
To return to our original coastal track back to the beach

A bit of local history
Terns, refusing to hover once I had the camera out.
