Leitches Clearing On The Wettest Weekend Of The Year

Last weekend (2 April 2008) I went for a tramp to leitches clearing with my friends Paul and Susie. The weather forecast was terrible so we had chosen the track from Leitches road into the clearing as it is a very good track with no river crossings involved.

As promised by the forecasters the weather was pretty bad with solid rain from midday sunday. Still the walk in was good with the track still in very good order despite the rain, just a few little creeks to cross that would usually be nothing more than a trickle. After collecting some firewood and a spot of book reading I cooked some taco's for dinner which went down very well.

We got a bit of a suprise near the road end on the way back, what had been a small ditch that you could easily step across had become significantly larger overnight. Presumably this was caused by flooding.  Paul shows us what was the track just one day earlier, check it out!

Below I turn my hand side ways in awe of the power of nature. Look what happened to the fence.
