There was no stopping 82 very fit, brave and dedicated women who conquered Mt Kosciuszko for Humpty Dumpty in November despite an onslaught of weather conditions tough enough to test even the most hardened adventurer.

When it comes to helping sick kids, there is nothing more relentless than a group of mums, and it’s just as well, as they experience high winds, hail, snow and just a hint of sunshine on their way to the top of Australia’s highest peak.

Humpty’s second annual women’s hike was without question a huge challenge and a success with money raised to fund a Paediatric Fellow at Royal North Shore Hospital.

2012 will see the Hike venture into new territory with it being held in Tasmania, taking on the beautiful walks of Cradle Mountain. Limited to 90 place, this all-inclusive package will showcase the best Tasmania has to offer - ancient landscapes, a rich history, unique wildlife, contemporary art and plenty of fun!
