Ascent of Mt Te Aroha

Looking down on Te Aroha from 30 mins up the mountain

... and another.
One day Malcolm walked up Mount Te Aroha and back down.  He did it in less than the 4 hours it is supposed to take - including eating his lunch up there and going at my speed for the first half hour (ta a viewing platform).  I went up for about another 45 mins from the viewing platform but it was steep, dense bush and I wasn't planning on going right to the top, so turned around and went back.  Malcolm said the view was clearer in reality than the photos show.  He could clearly see Tauranga and the east coast.
