Tongariro alpine crossing + climbing Mt. Ngauruhoe

Mt Ngauruhoe

Looking down into the volcano crater at the top of Mt Ngauruhoe

Emerald Lakes to right, Blue Lake to the left, looking down from red crater

Red Crater, Ngauruhoe, Mt. Ruapehu from right to left

On top of Mt Ngauruhoe, looking out towards tongaririo and, further back, lake taupo. You trek up to south crater as part of the crossing, approx 1600m elevation, and from there go off a side track and get up to 2291m. after the first bit, which is kind of cruisy, it is very very steep, with no real solid footing. It's all tephra on the way up, fragmental material, so you just sink your feet in a slide around and grab rocks to get up, I even slipped on some snow. On the way down it takes about 20 minutes, just slip and slide down, it's sick. Climbing was spectacular, proper volcanic crater up the top and probably the most dificult thing I have done.

Proof that I can hit the ball into a gap!

 

[muzby]

why does your opposition only play with 4 men?

seems a bit daft..

 

[Twizzle]

big enough gap

is that a girl bowling ?

There was a 17/18 yo girl in our grade last year. We got her out both times cheaply but she racked up over 500 runs for the season.

I bowled a state indoor cricketer once. She was a girl.

I got right up in her face and told her where the kitchen was.

It was glorious.

Remember playing against a girl in footy in under 12s I think. Took a tap hitup and I wasn't keen on tackling her so I just stood there with my hands on my head and she ran straight into me and bounced off my chest and knocked herself out. Everyone including her parents started abusing me about it and the ref penalised me for a shoulder charge lol

Same thing happened to me about the only time i could be bothered with PE. Just stood there, and the guy carrying the ball bounced off. Apparently it's on the tackler to get out of the way, or something.

School ain't no place for a big guy.
