A circuit in the Ruahine Range via Pourangaki and Kelly Knight Huts.
Saturday, 10 November 2012
We saw some magnificant rimu trees
Looking towards Mts Ruapehu and Tongariro
The tarn looked like a nice spot for lunch
Now for that hill (groan!)
The mist started coming in
The track down towards Pourangki hut
and there it is - a great hut and location!
We decided to walk out via the river...okay who wants to go first? (bags not!)
GUO was like a child with a new toy
There were some cool gorges to get through (or bash around)
There were also lots of brown rocks
Climbing out of the river to Kelly Knight hut
KK hut had some hunters in residence and what a mess they'd left!
We made it into Pari stream not long after the rain came
