New Year's Day in Hanmer Springs

1 January 2018

After a really relaxing NYE with great stargazing in the Southern Sky and fireworks in Auckland on TV, we did a tramp in another area of Hanmer Forest. We started just beyond the edge of town on the Chattaran Track. We reached the summit of Jack's Pass, then went on to Mt Isobel (1349 meters).

Summit of Jack's Pass. Ruben claims he was bloated. Diarrhea came later

Some lily-livers drive to the top of Jack's Pass.

Almost there.

The other side of town Hanmer was definitely the place to bet his holiday weekend!
