North Ramshead Tor ........

I have been for a little roadtrip through some of Australia`s Alpine areas for a few weeks . This was one of the few days I locked in as I was meeting Tony Brown from Canberra to explore some more of Kosciuszko NP around the Main Range and Ramshead . My brother in law accompanied me on the journey so we headed up Mt Kosciuszko first as he hadn`t climbed it before and then headed over to North Ramshead to the semi frozen tarn and tors .We had a beautiful clear morning but the wind was picking up as we climbed Mt Kosciuszko , the rime {ice build up into the wind } was amazing .We could hardly stand in the wind on top of Kosciuszko , I found myself being tripped by my leg being blown into the other numerous times . As we arrived here the weather changed and we had to wait for breaks in the cloud as we were flat out seeing the tor at this distance most of the time in the whiteout but it did contribute to the wintery mood . We were certainly well looked after with timing and conditions here .As the light started breaking through I shot a couple of panos and it all disappeared again .This day capped a great trip .We were planning to stay for sunset and some night shots but shortly after this we didn`t see the sky again so we wisely started heading back in some challenging navigational conditions . We were planning to hike the main range track the next day but it started raining the next morning .

We ended up hiking about 30 klms that day, we did about 160 klms on the trip many with laden backpacks to explore and photograph some areas and reached many peaks.

We drove a little over 5000 klms also
