Gold'n Ponds - Day 2 Mt Alexander

Day 2 offered a challenging map as Ron has pointed out in an earlier post. In fact, it was a bit of a challenge just to get to the assembly area from the car park: 750m with 75m of climb (which just occasionally felt like straight up, and we were all carrying that gear you need at assembly, like chairs and snacks and, of course, one's Ogear).

It was worth the climb, however, as the assembly area was a beautiful open plateau with great views across the landscape.

Somehow the Lion's brought a barbecue up to the side, there was also a much patronised coffee van (average wait in the queue about 30 minutes), and Maureen was taxied up in a four-wheel drive.
