| Trig Hill with old style trig |
Today was pack up day, divide our gear and get ready for our remote camping.
Some gear to come out bush and the rest to have a small holiday in Alice Springs, whilst we trek the wilds of the West MacDonnell’s.
The Spinifex Tongs were passed from Steve to Eve ....then we were off for what the guides said was a hard day. The map didn’t look too bad however we soon found why the rating was as it and was.
There was a side trip to Serpentine Gorge that some took the opportunity to take, whilst others just waited.
The walk was a continuous sawtooth, that culminated in what was labelled a Trip Point tho it was many feet lower than the main range. We decided that the surveyor was just a lazy bastard.
So up and down we went and crossed back into the National Park by what we believe is the only stile on the trail. And a very poor effort it was too.
We staggered into Ellery Creek after what was a hard day to find the camp set up, tents all up and David the driver and Peter the gopha all ready for us.
Tents allocated, mattresses blown up and sleeping bags in position, we were set up for the night.
Dinner was soup and a steak sandwich to follow and then the final of the film night.
Steve presented the Blues Brother, followed by the Sting by Julian and then Dead Man by Simon. All well received however Margaret and David’s contract had not been renewed so there was no critique.
Bed followed.
