Track Notes

A perfect walk and start time, both for a hot day and my lunch appointment at midday.

Walking at 6.20am and at the frost hollow near Sun Dial Rock in 20mins. The sun finally reached us as we began to climb SW towards The Spinnaker.

A slow and scrubby climb to the top, passing across and under the huge rock overhang. In through the back of The Spinnaker and sitting down eating a very early morning tea by 7.40am. Lovely views.

We returned pretty much the same way as the day continued to heat up.
