Ski Touring Brewster Glacier

Heike, Ian and I hiked up to the Brewster Hut and ski toured around the Brewster Glacier on the weekend. It's way late in the season, but just as I upload this video it is snowing down to sea level again! Its nearly mid November!!

Cutting fire wood

The power line fellas came around and dropped a tree in the front section a few months ago. I went down there and put my tarp over it all as a kind of claim to ownership, because the front section doesn't appear to be ours. People might get to thinking the wood was up for grabs.

I eventually found a chainsaw to loan and cut it all up. We probably got about 2 months worth of wood out of it. The next few days I cut up the vine covered trees out the back. At least another month of wood in that pile too. I quite enjoyed using the saw :)

Out the back of Cardrona on a very windy spring day

Sunshine and I took the dogs out for a walk on Thursday. Turned out to be a bit of an epic. Was very windy, cold, wind formed crust over a lot of teh snow, and an exhausting walk out to the car. You wouldn't really know at all from this happy little video though :)
