Arm River, Pelion Plains, Mt Oakleigh Nov. 22nd-23rd 2008
Posted: Thu 27 Nov, 2008 11:43 pmJust a few snaps from the BWT Strollers walk for November...
Parting with Oscar at the Arm River car park.
Nice and flat so far...
Lunch stop in the mossy forest.
Mt. Pillenger shrouded in mist.
A penguin on a bridge!
Nice to be pretty much up on top.
Crossing another bridge.
Some of our first glimpses of Mt. Oakleigh
Covus' damn fungi - this shot netted me two leech bites!
Bridge over troubled water

Better signposting than some roads!
A welcome sight - New Pelion Hut
Enviroterrorists on the left avoid the mud - this photo caused me to miss Corvus' warning of a looming deep bog hole and as I hurried to catch up - I sank a bit and Corvus (after checking I wasn't drowning) politley said "I told you so".
Corvus shows off "his" hut (Old Pelion). That window sill is Corvus' handy work from many moons ago! Oh and some tool covered in mud.
An old mine adit.
Dawn from New New Pelion Hut
Heading off for Mt Oakleigh
Troubled bridge over water!
What a morning!
The Pandanii forest is a neat addition to the Mt. Oakleigh ascent.
A taste of what's to come.
Awsome views from the first false summit.
Barn Bluff and Cradle Mt. in the distance.
Devon Annie on the real summit of Mt. Oakleigh with Barn Bluff in the background.
Me on the Summit (Penguin made an early bee line back to the hut after the second false summit, Geoskid was busy laying caches at the second summit, Corvus was just getting out of bed back in the Hut and only DA and I actually botherd with the this - th real summit).
Back in the car park with Oscar and his new friend Lance.
