Milford Track (belated)
Even though I did this track with my family in November I thought I'd put some pics up as most of you probably would've have seen any yet. It was a 55km (33.5 miles) walk over four days (really only three, the first day was only a 20 minute walk !). The scenery was absolutely amazing (I used up my whole memory card!) so it was quite hard picking just a few to share with you. The big picture on the left is of McKay Falls, we saw so many waterfalls but I thought this one was definately the most beautiful. The track itself wasn't as hard as I thought it would be with only one very difficult day (morning spent climbing uphill to McArthur's Pass - picture shows the Mum and I at the spot with the highest alitutude - and the afternoon spend all downhill). We went on the guided tour rather than the freedom walker option which meant we were with a group of about 50 people and 6 guides. (most people on the walk mum and dad's age but all the guides were my age) This was great fun because we got to meet so many great people, quite a few who we've seen since the walk. Our packs were only about 7kg's and all our food was cooked for us, not to mention a cold beer and a hot shower waiting for us at the end of each day. Was an absolutely fantastic holiday, great family bonding time and the best scenery I've ever seen (when walking up in the mountains I felt like i was walking in Lord of the Rings !!), definately recommended.
