9-11 February 2001

The “Lucky Thirteen” hikers, Keith, Margaret, Ian, Christine, Campbell, Lorraine, Graham, Greta, Dave, Pat, Bushy, Brenda and Warwick spent an enjoyable social week-end at Loteni camp site. Friday night was highlighted by Greta’s comments on “Going to Bangkok” and a notable story on Saturday evening by Campbell on Wendy (?).
andnbsp;
The Saturday hike took
the party up Loteni Valley, past Symes Cottage with a short stop at the
sandstone pools where “Mermaid” Greta took a swim. Then on to Yellow Wood Cave, passing through an impressive
yellowwood forest. Return was along a
path forming part of Eagle Trail.
andnbsp;
Sunday the party went
to Jacobs Ladder Falls. Very impressive with the higher water flow
due to the recent rains. Pat Kirby
“took to the heights” and climbed with most of the party to the top of the
lower section of the waterfall.
andnbsp;
The route home was via
“Cool Pools” where most of the party
had a refreshing swim.
