saturday 23rd June

The Cook and I set off at a lovely 11am.  It was still only about 1 degree out but sunny skies.  We headed around Hansens and then started the climb up Huntsbury.  When we got onto Aotea TC I stripped off a layer before continuing on.   I felt like I was pushing hard while he was cruising along.  Continued on quick rest before the shingle started and then up we went.  Just past the pylons Phatboy finally caught us up.  A lazy morning saw him start late.  We continued on up.  The track was still very wet.  Finally at the top Phatboy played with his drone before we decided to avoid the mud and do the road to the Sign of the Kiwi.  We stopped for a cuppa tea and a bite before cruising on up to the planting on Marleys Hill.  Stayed longer than expected and started to get real cold in the shade.  Wrapped up and headed back the way we came.  I was pleased to have extra layers on on the downhills. Finally back at the top of Huntsbury we headed down at a good clip.  Home for a hot shower.
