Yep, that's the trail.
Mingha-Deception is a really beautiful (but really rugged) route that follows the Mingha and Deception Rivers. There are 35 river crossings in total! (Luckily they were no deeper than waist deep this weekend- but that can change a lot based on rainfall). Between the two rivers sits the Goats Pass hut- and it sure beats tenting when the temperature drops to 5 degrees night!
Brad was in the highly anticipated President's cup golf tournament on Sunday. This tournament has 16 golf teams from golf clubs in the Christchurch area with handicaps from 10-20. Unfortunately the game was not completed because one of Brad's team mates (Peter) had a sudden heart attack, and was pronounced dead on the course. It was a sad and shocking moment for Brad as he had played with Peter on several occasions.
That's horrible. I hope Brad is okay, he must be very shocked. That's really sad.
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!! That's so terrible!!! Brad must be in shock!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Brad was quite in shock. Brad had spoke with him right before the game- he had just retired and was looking forward to some exciting plans for his future. Very sad.
