Ruahine Hut Bagging Labour Weekend 20-22 October
Comet hut
Heaps of Kowhai in bloom
Taruarua River
Shutes hut (huge rat inside)
Hill we'd come down and now climbed the other side
Looking back at Shutes
Taruarau Biv
Dianes hut
Up the river at 6.30 the next morn
Looks like a mini big cat
Looking back at Dianes
Walk along No Mans Rd
Ruahine hut
We had to drop into the Koau Stream and back up the hill on left
Steep descent
The old Koau tent camp
Climbing back up
Looking back at the Taruarau River and route back to the car
Where we climbed the day before
Shutes again
We'd blocked the rats nest and cleaned hut the day before
But there was fresh poos
Bashing through onga onga
Quite a bit of it
We camped under the stars
In bed by 5.45pm (truth)
Mays well join them
Nice shot Marcia
Back over the river and 850m up the hill on the last day
