Mt Lindesday, Denmark

2/05/2013 (Thursday)

Yesterday we got up early and got ready to go on a hike up Mt Lindesday.  Mt Lindesday is about 5 kilometres from the Denmark river to the 400 metre granite high dome visible to the north of the town.  We started climbing at 11:40.  At about half way we saw a massive grey cloud heading strait for us.  We even saw the rain pouring over the trees before it reached us!  It started getting very windy and we had to put our rain coats on and shelter behind some bushes.  Then we started climbing again because the storm hadn’t hit us yet and we were desperate to get to the top!  We FINALLY reached the top after one hour and 50  minutes of hiking up a steep mountain. When we got to the top it suddenly it started to pour with rain!  At the top Oliver and I had an apple and tried to stand up on the top of the reckon the summit.  But it was so windy we almost fell off!  On our way back down the mountain it was getting very cold and we were getting tired and achey.  When we got to the bottom of the mountain we were happy to be leaving after a long and hard walk.  In the evening Oliver and I played a game of Monopoly.
