Basic Snowcraft

Sunday, 14 August 2022

Having had one cancellation, an enthusiastic group of nine, headed off from Christchurch at 8am to the Castle Hill Basin on a day that proved to be a stunner, with little wind and clear, blue skies. We were ably led by Raymond and Geoff who have many years and trip experiences tramping safely in alpine and snow conditions and who generously gave up their time to share their skills and knowledge. Our leaders had done their due diligence and recced Cloudy Hill as being ideal for our group of novices and those wanting to consolidate their snow skills.
