Today Mendelt is leading a group of hardy souls who agreed to undertake today's proposed walk even though it was raining when we all arrived at the Kingston meeting point.
At the starting point there were some disparaging comments about the weather and why weren't we all at home in front of the fire with a good book.
However, there were soon some happy faces in the crowd.
Off we go along the Lenah Valley Track.
Mendelt spent time explaining the formation of the dolerite rock screes on the side of Mount Wellington.
The misty rain clouds made for a very atmospheric walk in some places, and very wet in others.
There was also a bit of rock hopping and bouldering.
The view of the mountain top through the mist.
At this time the sun was trying very hard to poke through the cloud.
We had 9 walkers who covered 6.7km in 3.5 hrs. and despite the inclement weather everyone noted that it was an interesting and enjoyable walk.
