I had no takers for this extended joint club trip so there I was alone, packed and ready to depart Guthega Power Station at 2:00pm. My first struggle was holding my pack under the luggage scales – no wonder as it registered 27kg (excluding camera and skis). Perhaps a little on the heavy side – obviously there are some advantages to travelling with others. I departed in a gentle breeze with mostly sunny skies.
