John Cornhill

forgot to mention yesterday Hooker about 10k was snowing lightly for about half of walk but not cold it was sunny most of the time strange weather. Went back to campsite after hooker where bright sunshinee and all the cloud had lifted off mount cook so sat in chair next camper van and read book with cup of tea bliss.. Met John and Lesley from surrey in neighbouring camper hes just retired too.
Tues did Tasman valley walk up to Tasman glasier much harder higher walk 15 - 20 k I guess went all the wat to bells hut then 500m past til climb got too steep for me. glacier an awsome sight it was moving could hear it sometimes bangs mostly crackling as if someone with a big botton was slowly sitting on a giant bag of crisps. nearly at top came accross a beach! with sand, a small pond. bantham type grass incongruous. got back to camper 2.30 drove to christchurch. all the best JohnJohn Cornhill
