Mt Erima. Sunday 10th March 2013


On a wet Sunday, the POM Bushwalkers wandered out not far from Moresby and started an up and down walk amongst quarries and water treatment plants and the odd vegetable garden.

Basically the walk meandered along the road and then went vertical once we entered the quarry, why zig-zag up a hill when a tractor can go straight up?


Our path was clear, but the skies were overcast.  Which was a win-win, the cooling rain meant we were wet from nature and not from sweating.  The Ups were steep and the Downs were technical but all kept a reasonable footing.


I had to pull out halfway through leaving the rest for the last steep climb up Mt Erima.  I hear it went well yet some of the crew rested at 'base camp' while the others scaled the final ascent.

All in all, a great short walk, but technical and up and down.
