Cathedral Rock

Monday, 18 February 2019

I've been up Cathedral Rock quite a few times in the past 10 years. Yesterday was the first time in about 18 months though, since I did the Montague Thumbs circuit and resolved to never go out without a proper map and spare phone battery!  This time Clare and I jog-hiked just to the top and back.

What was noticable this time was how dead the vegetation on top of Cathedral Rock was. I guess this was from the run of hot days and little rain that we have had over summer.  I wonder how long it will take to recover - if it ever will..

Despite that, the hike was fun. It was a beautiful morning.
