Avalanche Pk tramp/run

Jo Milne mentioned she'd been up Avalanche Peak on the weekend and that there'd been people running up the mountain. She seemed impressed, and I agree it's enough of a grunt just walking up.

Anyway, it was a reminder to me that the 2006 Avalanche Peak Challenge was coming up shortly and the people Jo had seen were checking how their training was coming along.

Then tonight Honora said Dave "Wattie" Watson asked if we would help with marshalling again. I enjoyed myself so much last year I wouldn't want to miss it.

The event is being held on Saturday the 25th of February. That's only two weekends after this one. As usual it has sections for trampers and runners. However DoC have placed an upper limit of 150 participants so I'd recommend getting an application in quickly if you want to secure a place.
