Hunters Hut - Red hills Hut

Vi vågnede op til solskin og kunne endelig se omgivelserne, som vi havde været i de seneste to dage. Samtidig var floden faldet drastisk, så der var mulighed for at krydse den senere på dagen.

Eftersom vi var ved at løbe tør for mad, blev vi nødt til at tage en lang dag og var undervejs i omkring 11 timer. Det gik cirka 1.100 højdemeter op og ned, og terrænet var meget varieret og bestod blandt andet af løse sten, stier, små flodkrydsninger samt en større flodkrydsning og til sidst selvfølgelig sump og mudder. Efter stormen var der mange væltede træer, og det hele var meget smattet at gå i.

Da vi endelig ankom til hytten, ventede der ren trail magic efter en uge i Richmond-terrænet. En sød trail angel havde været forbi med cola og scones, hvilket var så tiltrængt. Den bedste overraskelse efter en hård uge!

We woke up to sunshine and could finally see the surroundings we had been in over the past two days. At the same time, the river level had dropped significantly, making it possible to cross later in the day.

As we were running low on food, we had no choice but to take on a long day and ended up being on the move for around 11 hours. There was about 1,100 metres of ascent and descent, and the terrain was very varied, including loose rocks, trails, small river crossings, one larger river crossing, and finally of course swamp and mud. After the storm, there were many fallen trees, and everything was extremely muddy to walk through.

When we finally arrived at the hut, pure trail magic awaited us after a week in the Richmond terrain. A kind trail angel had stopped by with cola and scones, which was so badly needed. The best surprise after a tough week!Read more
