North Mangahao Biv via Punga Hut Sunday 20 October

Took us a while to find North Maungahao Biv
Sunday, 20 October 2013

Getting our gear on at the road end

Happy bunch aren't they

Up the logging road

Old Boots looking very sauve (even has his hand in his pocket...how flash is that!!!)

Monsta hands out lollies

and we all happily chomped away

Righto into the bush

Punga hut bagged!

A great spot for lunch

It was clean and tidy inside

Even had a woodburner

Now the search for the elusive Mangahao biv

Tea anyone?

We hit leatherwood

and it hit us back...twice as hard

Nice shot Chris

It was quite windy up top

As Queen Elisabeth (III) demonstrates

Chris wanted to be saved...no one went to his rescue

Stunning view

Nev said the biv was in some tall trees, so we could be onto a winner here

and he was right. North Mangahao biv bagged!

It was a very cosy, well kept biv

There was some lovely forest about

and a few wind blown trees

a quick stop

then back down to the logging road and the end of a FANTASTIC day
