Five intrepid (or foolish!!) tramper/hikers (of Kepler fame!) turned up for 9.30 a.m. start at the car park in spite of heavy deluge. President Les made a brief appearance to say he wasn’t going, and Lester turned up and left again when he dicovered the furthest we were going was to Topiary Café for morning rather than afternoon coffee. So, that is where Jill, Pat, Judy, Elaine and I duly proceeded [Meaning? – Ed.] to. We sat on the comfortable couches and relaxed and enjoyed coffee, pikelets and stimulating conversation.
Back to car park and to own cars and pursuits.
I went and did usual grocery shop and then took 3/4 hr to get to my home in Dunedin, with much aqua planing and “deep river” crossings!!
