    Rain, rain, rain but a beautiful walk.

    Gorgeous view from the ridge and lovely little lake tucked between the mountains.

    First part of the track is a bit exhausting but when you are at the top of the mountain you will have a great view of the Cobb Valley.

    Beautiful lake but very cold water!
