P4R5W0: North Island Adventures (Holiday!!!)


Quick catch up from my week break... I had a second attempt (first attempt was earlier this year) at reaching the summit of Mt Holdsworth (via Powell Hut) in the Tararua ranges, this time with success. It's a much easier walk when it's not pouring with rain, gusting like a hurricane or lighting up with lightening. It was a stunning sunny, clear day and at the summit both East and West coasts of the North Island and the top of the South Island could be seen. As a bonus there was some snow that had not yet turned into a slab of ice.
