We started out at Kiriwhakapapa road end and up to Blue Range Hut and down to Cow Creek Hut via Cow Saddle. We camped, with some staying in the hut. The next day we headed back up to Cow Saddle and then down Cleft Creek to the Ruamahunga River. Then down the river to shuffle cars for the journey home.

We started out at Kiriwhakapapa road end
... in the rain
Chantal insisted we go and bag Blue Range Hut
... where she really liked all the hospital signs
And it was a good dry spot for lunch as well
Not far now to Cow Creek
With 2 trampers already there, most of us chose to use our tents
Cow Saddle
Good travel down the blown-out head of Cleft Creek
Down the Ruamahunga
... with just one slightly tricky little gully to cross
