A wilderness survival epic
Over the Christmas and New Year break, Daniel Rogerson, Alison Davis, and Dave Cooper ventured into the Adams Wilderness Area for a nine day climbing trip.
Several days into the trip, 600ml of rain fell in 48 hours and they found themselves in survival mode, holed up on a glacier for three nights and then in an emergency snow-cave for another three.
Come along and hear their story!

Trekking the Har Ki Doon Trail
Har Ki Doon ('Valley of God'), a hanging valley in the Garhwal Himalayas, has been described as ideally suited to the fair-weather trekker seeking easy access to views of the rugged peaks of northern India and "an authentic alternative to the teahouse circuits of Nepal".
Since 'discovering' Har Ki Doon In 2004, Javer (Joe) Naran, a retired school teacher, has taken three groups on nine-day excursions along the 80 kilometre Har Ki Doon Trail.
