The Tararua Peaks on a rare clear day

Dennan and Bridge Peak looked clear too

Bannister

Owen and Marian (with an 'a') almost at the top of Bridge Peak

Our first patches of snow!

Kime hut

Setting off to watch the moonlight from Mt Hector

The last rays of sun over Kapiti Island

Phil and Mike coming off Field Peak

Mt Hector - our destination

Looking back at Field peak - the cloud was closing in!

Matthew and Josh on top of Hector

The moon was stunning

Andrew and Josh

Lights of weary trampers heading home to bed

We left the next day in cloud and cold

It cleared as we got down towards Dennan

But it was still cloudy up Bridge Peak way

Otaki Forks looked sunny and bright

Leaving Field Hut for the last part of our journey

Solly (our beloved leader top left) keeping an all important watch on the group
