Wellington work out

YIC has now arrived in Hobart where he is staying for a few days with Rick & Kiz Inglis and family. They live in Mount Stuart which is next to the bush and within striking range of Mount Wellington. YIC took the opportunity of a mild overcast day to run up Mt Wellington. Views from the top were not extensive (it was in cloud), but he felt more virtuous than tourists who had driven to the top. The cloud did clear briefly to display the famous Organ Pipes - the cliffs near the summit. It was a glorious run with hardly a soul in sight. It took 3.75 hours and afterwards YIC was officially "tired".

Here's a photo of Mt Wellington from today (Friday 21 Nov) when the skies were clear. The organ pipes are visible below the mast.
