Mt Sebastopol

---

Long drive to Mt Cook village in the morning.

The clouds holding the forecast rain are snagged on the Western Alps (the other side of Copland Pass) so the sky is only spitting a bit for my scamper up Mt Sebastopol for views back to the Tasman and Hooker valleys. The tops of Mt Cook and the surrounding high peaks are in cloud all day but the hike is good nonetheless and the views atmospheric (something to do with the atmosphere above them being very visible today and not at all see-through).

Just under 2 hours to the top and less than an hour down makes for tired legs (I met my run-down-the-lower-half-in-10-minutes challenge today) but a quick whizz round to Kea Point below the glaciers is in order. The run back is good but the right leg (ankle & knee) and the left hip are making sure I know it's time for a rest now. Fear not my long-suffering limbs, little else to do but sit still too much for the next 60 hours or so.
