| Pureora Forest is located near the geographic
centre of the North Island. The trip was made on a cold Queen's Birthday weekend in June
2002. There was heavy ground frost overnight and the soil was, of
course, soft! We didn't travel very far as the strong-headed sex
persisted in doing the impossible until their more sensible partners
persuaded them to turn back. Not many photos were taken on this trip
as it was
too dark in the forest. The photographer decided to wrap up and stay warm in the truck
doing crosswords and finishing reading The Lord of the Rings while waiting for the traffic to
clear and for the boys to finish their digging! |

Wonder
why Edith's still smiling? (because Barbara asked her to!) |
Rear
view - ouch, what's the damage going to be like? |
25
degree - doesn't sound too steep but boy, it must have felt like 45! |
Good
to be back in the hut after all the excitements of the day |
