10/11/10 Pete and Sara
Arrived in queenstown and wanted to stretch our legs so heade down to glen orchy and climbed Mt alfred, a small hill (1375m) surrounded by big ones. We set off up a zigzag path though the beech forest which was lovely, the path gradually straighened before leaving the forest and accending very steep ground to the summit ridge. great views from the top (photos to come when we get back). decsent was tricky due to snow grass (very slippy) untill the trees then good fun. I was with sara and her folks so walked down though it would have made a wonderfull run. I think it was around 3-31/2 hrs altogether.
