Up the Tamaki West River to Stanfield Hut then up and over to Cattle Creek Hut. Some of us decided to have a walk to Mid Pohangina hut and back but due to heavy rain we turned back. We came out via Holmes Ridge.

Sooo romantic
Pistol fights through the bushes up the Tamaki West river
Stanfield Hut
Climbing up to the tops
Descent down to Cattle Creek Hut
Cattle Creek hut -a great wee spot
Some of us decided to have a walk to Mid Pohangina Hut and back
Pistol taking a spill on a wet log
It was a stunning creek
Rain stopped play and we didn't make it to Mid Poh
So we headed back to Cattle Creek hut for a comfortable night
Climbing back out from Cattle Creek
We decided to go north and get a bit of red line that joined up to a trip that came out the Apiti Saddle some years ago
It was pretty overgrown
We returned the same way and ate lunch back at the packs
