First of the restarted list. After travelling to work on the train a couple of weeks prior and seeing clear blue skies and that winter crisp air i suggested a trek, four mates were game and we planned it for a friday. Totally unprepared and how not to do it, but we had a great time and lived to tell the tale!snow all the way, and coming down had a whiteout and had no sense of dimensions, an eye opener!plus didnt get the clear blue skies we wanted!
