Oh! My stiff legs! We finally conquered the Kingsporn track down the mountain. The track had several large trees across it and was very rough and steeply descending. We had the usual confusion about finding the beginning of the track and ended up having to walk up a steep ski slope before walking down (!) the next one across. My legs are feeling the excursion today. Janine and I were up for dinner and she had had a fall so was feeling a bit stiffer and scorer but the moving in the kitchen was a good wind down. We cooked a roast lamb and vegetables and I added an instant butterscotch mousse. It was a great success and we all ate heartily. The wind got up last night and at 4am I woke to incessant howling and trees thrashing. Walking looked a bit bleak but nonetheless we set off to Little Mt Buller today and had wind, rain , clouds and later hail. More uphill steep ski run walking but an invigorating day. I feel quite weary and was really hungry so polished off soup, lamb and verges, a sandwich that Janine hadn't eaten the day before and two pieces of fruit cake! Now I am stiffening up beside the fire!
