Coming Walks
Any person wishing to come on a club walk must contact
the walk leader first. The leader will organise the meeting
place and car pooling and has full discretion on who can
come on the walk.
Nominations close 9:00pm on the Wednesday prior to a
weekend trip or by 9.00pm on the Monday before
Wednesday trips.
More details are available in the club calendar.
It was good to see the large water tank and basin tap at
the composting toilets were still present, as distinct from
Grey Cliffs where both these items had been thieved!

Pilgrimage (Aratula)
September 2014

Got hammered a bit with high wind and cold rain squalls,
so extra tarps came out, etc. Nothing that experienced
tent and trailer campers could not readily handle though.
Nights were very cold but days magnificent again. So a
few warming beverages were needed in evening, and
Dave Kenricks free hot shower tent was superb. Dave
Rae was the only one numbed enough to swim in the cold
ocean.

It was a relief to leave the spur and turn towards the west
and a far gentler stroll down to the creek and the road.
Unfortunately, the leader had decided (unwisely) not to
leave a car at the end of the walk and so the drivers had
to walk the 3+Kms back to retrieve the cars.

Soon enough the wind rose and the first storm cell blew
through. When it abated we did an exploratory walk of
several hundred metres to the edge of Paddy's Bluff and
appreciated the views across and down the gorge. We
were also treated to a 'fashion show' of the Shera's space
age wet weather gear.
Shortly after our return to the campsite a second storm
cell blew in, this time with small hail. Thankfully the tarp
withstood it, so we huddled underneath and watched hail
spill off into a heap. John ate some and declared it good.
Dinner was taken around the third squall, but the fourth
had us all beating a retreat to our tents for the remainder
of the night. A very strong wind blew all night with a
roaring sound as it tore through the tree branches.
Day dawned clear and comparatively calmer. A leisurely
breakfast and pack up was extended by the mystifying
disappearance of the Laban's tent peg bag with remaining
pegs. We didn't think the wind blew hard enough to carry
it away but maybe??
