glasshouse1 - tibberoowuccum

The day started with rain and some good intentions to walk up a glass house mountain.  A mere hillock in global terms.  Bob had briefed Megan on a couple of options.  There was but one small issue.......
Rain.

We looked out the window as we ate breakfast at 9am ish and said 'nah'

There was some traction to play that game we all know and love - Monopoly.  Thankfully it had not been brought so we settled for a game of spicks and specks.  You know the awe in which one watches quiz shows.  Well we showed none of the brilliance that causes viewers to return for a second episode.  The game was abandoned in favour of a game of Rummikub.  At the conclusion of that game we observed that the rain had reduced to a mere drizzle.

Bags were packed with sugar.  We boarded the Vito.  Megan navigated and we were off.

Our first challenge was ....

.....The mud......
We walked along this track.  Sort of wishing we had a Land cruiser.  It would have been so much fun.

We were having so much fun that no one noticed that we weren't actually going up.

Megan said "hey lets turn left and walk up the hill"

We found a track and started to walk.  Climb.  Up the hill.  Sometimes the track was too slippery and we had to walk in the grass beside the track or pull ourselves up using trees.

We made it to what looked a bit like the peak.  A sort of preliminary peak.  The real peak was few more meters behind Megan.

This is what the track looked like.  The peak is in the background.

The view.  Wow.  Loved it.

Marcus high on the right along with Chris ascended the peak and then gave advice to the rest of us.

Just a happy Jemma

On the way down.  Marcus and Chris helped Jemma.  It was pretty steep.
