First Training event

First training event was on the Weekend of the 27 to 28 September 2008. Tramped to the top of the Pinnacles in Coromandel. It was quite an ambitious first training event but the views were certainly worth the effort. It took about 3.5 hours to walk to the DOC hut as the track was very steep. I believe it is about 750m above sea level and approximately 8kms. Definitely had sore feet after the descent down the Billy Goat Track. Learnt a lot about what to pack and what saw too heavy to carry. T

The begining
