The Great Sugar Loaf

The trip to the Great Sugar Loaf was rather a nice experience.
The weather wasn't very good - was very misty and the cloud cover was very low - but at least it wasn't raining. Actually the cloud cover was so low that even before we climbed the top of the hill we were basically walking in the clouds.

The ascent was rather steep.


At the top.


A specimen of a native fauna. (A marmot? ;)


Later on the clouds dispersed so we could see the Great Sugar Loaf in all its glory.


Horsie...
