Monday's Walk - 14 March 2016
Plan A: Diamond Lake and Rocky Mountain.
Our walk this Monday will start with "a warm up" around Diamond Lake.
We will then continue on and walk up to the Rocky Mountain summit via a loop track which we will approach from the West on our way up. Spectacular views include Lake Wanaka and the skyline dominated by the surrounding peaks!
Lunch will be at the 775 metre summit overlooking Mount Aspiring/Tititea to the West.
We'll come down the East side of the loop.
Plan B: Lake Hayes, round trip, only if rain and/or high winds will stop us from carrying out Plan A.
Approx. 45 - 60 minutes drive. Approx. 2 1/2 hour walk around the lake with lunch along the way, possibly followed by a coffee in or around Arrowtown.
Leader: Ron de Kraker

Meeting point
Google now charges to include a map, and their instructions on getting a free API_KEY are too gobbledegooglish for me to bother. The normal meeting place is the lake front near the showgrounds, Lat:-44.6990, Lng:169.1257.
