Sunset from the summit
WATCH THE SUN SET from THE TOP OF RANGITOTO on the LONGEST DAY with Richard SAYSELL
Saturday 20 Dec 2014
Once again it is time for the annual sunset from the summit paddle, (weather permitting)
For those keen the general plan is, to meet at Milford Beach at the Main Car Park end at 5:15PM for a 5:45 departure, which should see us on Rangitoto by7:00PM
With 1Hr for a leisurely walk to the top we should be well in time to see the sun set at 8:23
All that exercise of course makes you hungry so a shared feast of Xmas fare and drinks should top you up and give you the energy for the return to Milford by 11:30 PM.
Things to bring:-
Full night Kayaking gear
Small Backpack
Thermals and jacket - it will be chilly on the summit.
Walking shoes
Drinking water for Kayak and Climb
Torch or headlight to light your way back down the rough track. (No sprains please)
Food and drink for shared feast. (Plus chopping boards or serving dishes etc if required)
Camera
Weather parameters 15K max
Likely to be swells and chop and boat traffic.
LW 01:00 Sun, HW 18:49 Sat
No emergency pullout spots except other North Shore Beaches
Skill level required 2B (See grading system).
No plan B. A cancellation decision will be made on Friday if the weather not looking suitable.)
