MOUNT COOK NZ ~ ANGELA & BRIAN ~ AN ACROSTIC

ANGELA & BRIAN



 

MOUNT COOK NZ ~ HAS TO BE BELIEVED TO BE SEEN ~ AMEN !

 

MAGNIFICENT MOUNT COOK ~ Majestic Queen

Of NEW ZEALANDS Southern Alps ~ A perfect

Undulating form 12,400 feet

Nonchalent form ~ four times higher than SCAFELL PIKE

The highest Mountain in Mother England !

 

Christened  MOUNT COOK  for famous British Explorer.

One of the playgrounds of Sir Edmund Hillary

Optimistic KIWI who together with SHERPA TENSING

Knelt on the Summit of Mount Everest in 1952 !

 

No better MEN to stand on the Planets Summit

Zealous Climbers ~ tribute to Tibet & MOUNT COOK !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments please ~ Love A & B 🧡🧡🧡

 

BRIAN is a qualified Fell Walk & Mountain Leader for Geology

Field Trips. So for today & the Glacier he insisted on Boots and

Alpine Stick for the rough terrain. We are both very fit. Brian

made sure I was nice and warm at all times. We enjoyed the

Scenery in Mount Cook National Park but to have attempted 

an ascent would have required and additional five days ! Brian

was disappointed : I was relieved ! It was cool 10C = 50F. There

was frost in the VW VAN in the Morning & I saw my first NZ SNOW !

    You fainted, actually seeing snow in NZ?! You come down off that mountain yet?! Fido says it's too steep for him. lol.

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      THANKS UNCLE STEVE : FIDO would love it : frolicking in the SNOW. I was in Auckland all Winter (June - July - August !) and didnt see a flake of SNOW ! Now in NZ Autumn I am knee deep in it ! YES were off the Mountain (its 8:30pm MONDAY) and we have motored to FRANZ JOSEF GLACIER (now 10C = 50F) ready to explore tomorrow when it will be sunny & dry. Due to Global Warming FJG is melting and has been retreating rapidly since 2008 ! Thanks for your lively comments !
      Blessings & Joy to YOU & FIDO

      A chilly but welcome sight must have been that glorious mountain on which famous climbers have stood - - global warming has so much to answer for when heights like this are beginning to melt. Great read again thanks to you both.

      • ANGELA & BRIAN

        Thanks FAY ~ Good Morning (its 11pm here !) Ive sent my reply as a comment ~please check
        Yours B & K 🧡🧡

      • ANGELA & BRIAN

        Thanks FAY ~ Global Warming has a lot to answer for. Melting GLACIERS and Snow & Ice Fields on high Mountains and at the Poles ! That in turn causes loss of HABITAT & Sealvele rise & Coastal Erosion etc etc. Many of these thing are ireversible ! Pleased you enjoyed the Production and the Pictures ! You can see why Im keeping ANGELA very safe ! Her five Maori Trainees will finish their Practical (Hands-on) rogramme with her in OCTOBER also I need to be back @ work on Monday 9th May ~ All perfect things have to come to an end ! Mount Cook has been Awesome ! Its now 11pm (Monday) and we have arrived at Glacier Caravan Park for the NIGHT ~ Good Night !
        Blessing and Love in the Spirit 🧡🧡🧡🧡

        Another great read.

        • ANGELA & BRIAN

          Thanks UNCLE MICHAEL ~ we like to keep our Circle of Friends on MPS informed of our whereabouts. We had to spend an extra day in Queenstown ~ in order to get a dry day (Tuesday) for Franz Josef. We have booked our return flight (Christchurch to Auckland) for Wednesday Afternoon ! That will give me two days to chill in Auckland before flying back to Blighty (My Grandads word for the UK !) on Saturday ! Angela has promised me a TOP to TOE relaxing Massage to compensate for all the walking & driving. We leave the VW VAN (spotless of course !) at Christchurch Airport and recover our $150 (NZ) deposit. We have kept it immaculate but we havnt been over Arthurs Pass (3000 + feet) yet !
          BLESSINGS for all your support
          Yours as always BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
