• St James day 5

    January 1, 2024 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Boyle Flats hut to Boyle village.
    We left at 7.30 and it took us 5 hrs
    Nice sunny warm day.
    You follow a river most of way in bush. Track could do with some attention. Lots of muddy bits and some streams to cross. One swingbridge at Magdalen hut junction.
