Sudden Valley - January or Febuary 2005

Another well attended CTC trip up the beautiful Sudden valley. 16 of us left Hawdon Shelter on a perfect summers day and slowly wombled up Sudden Valley to the Biv, at which we arrived about 2:30PM. Had an extended rest taking in the views scenery and the sun, before heading back out the same way. An easy trip to a beautiful spot.

Bealey Spur 16th January 2005

A CTC trip that was originally going to go to Mt Stewart in Arthurs Pass, but due to weather forecasts and conditions, this trip was completed instead. A party of 16 trampers headed up Bealey Spur around 9:00AM, stopping at the hut for morning tea before heading round the ridge to point 1875. Enjoyed the excellent views before dropping down Jordon Stream and rock hopping back down to the Waimak River and then back out to Bealey Bridge. A nice trip with a height gain of about 1100 M and walked about 22KM.

A good shot of the ridge we travelled.

Relaxin' at the top, the day turned out fine in this area.
