    Jeeze. It was 18* the other night. We had to go to 2 sheets on top.
    Some of the locals complained of having to wear beanies to sleep to keep warm

    Just been for a cruise up the the Maungatapu summit.

    Took 15min to get up Hurricane Hill, but I made it...
    Maybe Shinko 705's aren't optimal for winter clay?

    Did some track clearing in the Maungatapu. A few branches were blocking the track along the Akatarawa Extreme section. Cleared 5-6 manuka's that had come down on the corkscrew bypass.

    The Omega neck brace gets pushed slightly forward by the Ogio vest meaning I can't tilt my head back as far as normal when standing going downhill but it'll be easy enough to get used to.
    The brace limits tilting your head left and right but tilting forward and turning side to side are not restricted at all. I like it.

    Just got me a Canon PowerShot D10 camera off TradeMe to replace the Olympus 1030sw with the dead LCD.
    Both are 10m waterproof etc but the Canon is a lot more bulky but looks to have the edge in picture quality and also has optical IS which really helps in low light situations. Also 12mp vs 10mp and it takes SD cards instead of the brain dead XD's.

    I pulled the camera apart in Raro (they've got a JayCar!) and after re-assembly, only have 1 spare screw left over

    The new (2009 model) camera is not an easily pocketable camera though
