St James Walkway Jul 2015
Plan A: Toni is leading a CTC tramp to Lake Man. The weather has other ideas of course. Saturday looks nice, but Saturday night and Sunday have gales and rain forecast. Plan B: Climb over Faust (1710m) from Boyle Village to Boyle Flat Hut on Saturday and walk out via St James Walkway Sunday. But the wisdom of the club is that the snow will be too soft and deep (we find out later that this is correct). Plan C: Stick to the valleys with a fast 2 day trip around St James Walkway. It's a 65km trip with short winter days - we pack light so we can travel fast. Saturday we start at Lewis Pass and walk 35km to Anne Hut. Sunday we walk the remaining 31km to Boyle Village. Chris volunteers to drop us at the start and have a more relaxing "womble" to Boyle Flat Hut and then meet us at the end. Thanks Chris!
