Snow, Sun and Whopping Great Frosts



As significant winter snow fell on Kahurangi National Park, Year 12 students began the first of three days tramping through the bush of the Flora Valley and the sub alpine areas of the Tablelands peneplain. By the end of the day the snow had stopped, the sun peaked out for the last minutes of the day before sliding behind the peaks of the Cobb Range and the big chill began. The next two days were clear, calm and cold. Students practiced their off track navigation skills and by day three were ready to be assessed. Here are a few photos of the action.
