Mount Victoria Walk

The weather is starting to get warmer and the days are starting to get longer so Rich and I have decided to make more of an effort to get out and about walking. We are hoping to go for a fairly decent walk at least once each weekend, it will end up being weather dependant of course, but hopefully we can get out and about more.

A couple of weekends ago we decided to start things off easy with a walk to the summit of Mount Victoria (0r Mount Vic as it gets called around here), which to me is actually much more of a hill than a mountain, but that may be due to the fact I grew up seeing this outside my window each morning.

Mount Victoria is right in Wellington city so we don't have to walk very far to reach it - I think I had forgotten how steep it was though.


It does often get a wee bit windy down here in Wellington!



I know I look like miss grumpy with my arms crossed, but I wasn't I promise, it was just really cold at the summit. Lots and lots of cold, cold wind!
