2. 7/02/21. Racemans. Hikers Leaders Jenny Finnerty and Bob Heenan
I went to pickup my friend (who will remain nameless)and she was still in her night attire and quite obviously not coming! My thoughts went to a plan B hike because of the inclement weather but by the time I arrived at the car park everyone one was keen to carry on and do Racemans/Tunnel track.
Bugga!!! The said friend was coerced in to coming so was picked up (dressed) and off we went to Whare Flat. All 13 eager souls and 1 friend set off through the ford and over the swing bridge and onto the track with a few with squelching feet.
Track was really good with some clearing been done.
There were only a few mucky bits due to the rain which was getting harder by the minute.
It was good having some strong trampers to help us ladies through a couple of tricky bits. Thanks guys.
After about an hour or so it was decided to shorten the hike and for go lunch because it was fair persisting down.
It didn’t seem to dampen any spirits because we all enjoyed it, even the friend(I think).
It was definitely one walk to remember!
Jenny and Bob
PS. Thanks Jan for your track knowledge and a great reccy.
