Descending towards Shutes in the hot sun
Shutes Hut. Maybe they were a hazard, but sadly DOC has felled the pine trees that Alex Shute planted almost 100yrs ago.
Cooling off in the Koau Stream. Still a way to go to ....
.... Ruahine hut. It was great to find it empty when we arrived in the dark.
Awesome scree descent to Big Hill Stream, not far from ...
Dead Dog Hut
Herricks Hut was quite a few hours of stream bashing, having overshot the start of the sidle track.
