I used to know quite a few managers in THC too, and I think they would've had a smile or two as well!<br Donaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02514655834785883306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171936566349025791.post-53139697746555059992011-03-30T21:09:02.589+13:002011-03-30T21:09:02.589+13:00Dear Robb

I am starting to sniff the cool air and long for the mountains. Things are going really well and I keep gazing at my gear. A few more busy weeks to get through so enjoying a virtual trip here is bliss. Kia ora.<br />Cheers,<br />RobbRuahineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398484733805119294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171936566349025791.post-30727095370321575832011-03-20T23:57:20.286+13:002011-03-20T23:57:20.286+13:00Dear Donald

We were members of the OTC&MC and half the party went in from the Eglinton Valley via Dore Pass and I was in a party that used Hut Creek as a gateway to the Bob McKerrow - Wayfarerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832128768908667724noreply@blogger.com
