Saturday, 14 May 2016

After a change of plans we went in over Shorts Track and returned on Sunday via Knights Track. Neville's GPS track in red, total distance 22km.

It was misty and windy on the top of the Ngamoko Range.

Leon Kinvig - a very nice hut on the Pohangina riverbank.

The loo was a fair way from the hut and took some finding.
