Rock climbing at Takaka, Labour weekend

Marlborough sounds from the air.

The weather was looking sunny and perfect for the whole of labour weekend, which was great because I had signed up for a trip to Payne's ford with the alpine club. There were amazing views flying out over the Marlborough sounds from Wellington. 

The first two days (Saturday and Sunday) we climbed at the Pohara sea cliffs. The views from the top of the climbs were great, you could see across the sea. On Labour day (Monday) we climbed on the
fantastic limestone jugs at Payne's ford.
