After the kids got home from school and had a bit of a rest and something to eat, I took Zachy, Taliah and one of their friends for a short hike up the firebreak behind our house. It's a pretty steep climb up - about 1100 feet /330 m - some parts of the hike is literally 1:1 gradient (that's a 45% grade!). But they all made it, even though this was Zachy's first time up. When we got to the top, they begged me to go along the ridge to the radio towers, so we did and when we got there, we saw 3 crosses that someone had 'woven' into the chain-link security fence around the radio towers. Cool, huh? Here are a few fotos...

About 7 or 8 years ago (someone please correct me if I'm wrong!) a giant cross appeared overnight near those towers, someone had cleared the gorse and scrub on the hillside. You could see it from pretty much the whole of the Hutt valley. The local papers were full of speculation as to who (or what...) was responsible. Anyway turned out it was a youth group who wanted to leave an anonymous witness... they were told off for destroying public property and eventually the gorse grew back. But I remember at the time thinking it was pretty cool.
hi bridget, hmm, maybe that would be a good afternoon project for ccw - without the damage of course!
