Dark Peak – Camp Near Brown Knoll

 

Light already starting to fade as we climb up past Mt Famine and South Head

Water needed filtering near Mt Famine and then carrying in to where we were aiming for

Observing the water filtering process – Pebbles knows how to do it now

Lets put the tent up right here!

Dogs are tied up while we pitch

If we feed the dogs first, they then fall asleep and don’t bug us while we’re eating

Clear views at the start of the evening

A bit of a breeze gave a windchill of -2.9C

The next morning brought wind, rain and clag – view of Kinder summit from our pitch

Again, dogs eat breakfast first and then they settle

Delicious Rainbow Porridge (invented by Dale) waiting to be prepared

Morning mum, your breakfast smells good!

Dogs are usually tied to our rucsacs while we pitch and break camp, but we had a handy fence today

Nearly ready

Final bits packed and a careful check to make sure no trace of our camp is left behind

Rain and wind all the way home, but it did clear a bit as we dropped height

Doggies were beautifully behaved and a fun night was had by all…
