Do I really have to?

Well, J joined the Wanaka Walkers B group again today, and took me along for the experience. We walked the Newcastle Track - however, I didn't know that walking a swing bridge was part of the deal! It was right at the beginning of the walk - I got my belly progressively closer to the bridge boards, so that by the end of it I resembled a Tibetan commando... little did I know that to return home we had to retrace our steps, and I had to repeat the experience in order to get across the Clutha River to get back to our car! Needless to say, my face on this photo expresses my feelings perfectly as I was about to embark on the return journey...
