Routeburn Track with DMcK & W. Big day.
Didn't plan on doing this until next week but weather good and the opportunity to do it in good company was too good to miss. Quads still feeling Wednesday but what the heck.
Bus all the way round to The Divide then the whole track in one go. Great weather, views etc and great chat. Had to wind it up at the end to make our transport but all good.

Excellent all round...suitably knackered and ready for a beer or two in the same company.

Shot

From Fantail Falls straight up.
Too steep to run any up. Sizeable sac.
To Brewster Hut (90 mins)then onto subsidiary top of Mount Armstrong (another 60 or so). Brilliant hut location and views awesome including of the Brewster glacier. Seriously tough on the quads coming back down..especially through the birch wood. Just tree roots on a steep hillside.
Glad of the swim in Lake Wanaka.

Okarito to the trig and back. Great mountain and sea views. Sea dip after. Weather turned nice again.

Up the Porarai River from Punakaiki then Inland Pack Track to Bullock Creek and back down Bullock Creek Road. Wet and jungly. Wouldnt want to try a short cut :-).

To Nelson then onto Lyell. Glad of a rest.
