We are relaxing in our Wanaka accommodation, watching Gosford Park (good to type to)as we recover from our exertions. I am still uploading the photos which look lovely as usual so please try to find them and the google earth link if I manage to work out this blogger interface. Otherwise check the mac version once we're back.
Weather was as good as you can get here I imagine when we set off on the 51k drive to the Raspberry Creek carpark. It was an eventful drive with dramatic mountains on all sides, lots of gravel and motorhomes and half a dozen creeks to ford. There were a number of corollas at the terminus so it was not really a 4wd trek.
Tess and I were less prepared in all ways than most of the tampers - older, less fit and far more cheaply equipped. Nevertheless, we struggled across the swing ridge, scrambled up the path through the beech forest and were eventually rewarded with a spectacular view of Mt Aspiring and its Rob Roy glacier.

You have a lot of lovely photos, Rob. I've enjoyed looking at them.

Thanks George - digital cameras encourage lots of shots. Next job is to winnow them down to the very best.
