A neat little hike that I’ve done as a ski tour in winter. Not quite enough snow for skiing at the moment, but not so much that hiking was impossible. There was some snow being flicked up into boots though (gaiters would have been a good idea) and thankfully a few other people had been out there before us to stamp the trail down.
It was also the first test of the fancy new Ergo backpack – an upgrade for Finn from the sling, as the weight on one shoulder was getting a bit too much for longer hikes. He’s not quite big enough to sit in it normally yet, so it’s being padded with blankets and a mini-pillow, in lieu of buying the proper infant insert (which he’d probably only need for a few weeks anyway).
Distance: 10km return
Elevation gain: 310m (1900m – 2210m)
