McKinnon - Crow Circuit 27-28 January

Saturday, 27 January 2018
We drove up Friday afternoon and walked 6km up the Kauwhatau river
Was a loverly evening
Cage by K Base
We climbed 200m as the sun set
and slept on the track
Off bright and early Saturday
Breaking out of the bush
It was misty at first
But it soon cleared
High point on the left
Stunning landscape
McKinnon Hut
Eastern Ruahines
Where we'd climbed down
Off after a long lunch
It was a steep track
We soon made it to the river

GUO at the Crow bridge
Crow hut - a lovely spot
We swam by the rock on the left
Heading down the river on Sunday
Reflecting trees
Another stunning day
The power of nature

River selfie
Back at the cage...6km to go
GUO having a dunk
Beautiful kowhai all down the river
