"The business is finished," was the cry as 48 runners and walkers returned from the final set of triple peaks for the year: Spring can be only just around the corner.
This time the A pack didn't get lost (well, not much). Some ran up Long Gully from Wrights Hill to Te Kopahou, so avoiding the northerly on the more exposed ridge track. Several took the tough option of climbing up the Tip Track from Happy Valley to the Hawkins Hill Radar Station, while many more chose to cruise down and cross the next ridge via Murchison.
Thanks to the organisers. Monitoring the Wrights Hill car park was Bob Stephens, Te Kopahou, Bob Gardner and Mt Albert, Michael Browne. As usual, the maitre d' at the clubrooms was Harry Doig (who also compiled the results on Sunday evening), while Keren Dravitzki turned out dozens of scones for the returnees.
I hope we didn't miss anyone's check-ins.
Well done to all participants! These are this year's nine-peakers: Delphine Gore, Howard Harman, Janet Walker, Martyn Reynolds, Matyas James (solo rep from the P Team), Paul Rodway, Peter Baillie, Peter Pohl, Richard Sweetman.
