Waterfall Bay to Clemes Peak - 18 march 2025

 Today's walk will be from Waterfall Bay to Clemes Peak.  The forecast is for a temperature of around 20,  clear skies and only a lazy breeze.  Perfect walking weather.

 

In the car park  preparing for the walk .. with Chris going in the wrong direction


 View of Waterfall Bay from the lookout. In the foreground is a tourist boat .. we saw a number of them throughout the day.  The Hippolyte rocks are the small speck which can be seen in the distance.

Off we go and Morris signs us in

 

 We head off towards Waterfall Bluff .. this part is mostly uphill with some great views along the way


 

Morning Tea at Waterfall Bluff  and its spectacular views
 

 
 
 

 

Looking south .. Cape Hauy, The Lanterns and The Candlestick in the distance


 

Looking north .. Pirates Bay in the distance


 Morning tea over we continue .. here we reach the track junction and this is where the serious climbing starts


 

We get a glimpse of the ocean .. Hippolyte Rocks in the distance


 Taking the track to Clemes Peak

 

Shortly after we reach the top .. and its lunch time in the sun






It took a bit of persuasion (it was so nice relaxing in the sunshine)  but eventually we start our return journey.
