Taking up a group of Public Service students from a local college. Nice work if you can get it! Up the PYG track and down the Miner's today. Not my favourite route, but the one I judged most suitable for the group. Weather was pretty indifferent, cold and very cloudy on top precluding any decent views. Dropped out of the cloud at about 2,500'. Disappointed for the youngsters, but I always enjoy a wander up this mountain whatever. :)

It cleared up around 4.00pm, and we had some excellent views. Sorry you missed them.
