Mother’s Day Hike up Elsie’s Peak

Sunday

Today was the day…

We hiked up Elsie’s Peak. What a treat. We walked from our house, taking 20 minutes to the start. We were up in just over an hour (including the 20 minutes) and down as my watch registered 2 hours and 16 minutes. That included a stop at the top, a ramble to the edge to see if we could see our house and a meander down a different route (via the Shark spotters). From there we took a different path to see if we could access the Elsie’s Peak path from Mountain Rd, which we can. Next time, instead of walking all the way to and up Ravine steps, we’ll take a left up Mountain Rd and join the contour path which will be a more direct short cut. It was a good 6km hike that I would love to see more of this winter. One day Elsie will full on understand there is small mountain that has her name on it!

Here are more pics…Mike leading the way…

Obligatory selfie at the top…

Looking down at our house…

We got back just after 1pm. David finished teaching at 1:35pm and then we all sat down for a lovely lunch provided by Freedom Foods!

We’ve had a quiet afternoon. It’s been a good weekend.

Colossians 4:5-6

Make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.

Keep the smile going.

God bless you.

In His Grip,

Helga xx 🙂
