Ahuriri valley camp

24km 8hrs sunny again!

Another awesome walk! They've been trapping heavily up the Freehold creek at the beech forest was just humming with rifleman birds. They'd come right down so you could spot 5 or 6 hanging out on a fallen log. So cool!

Above the treeline it's the skinks that are just everywhere. I had to watch my step as they could get a little creative with their running away.

We bypassed Quailburn hut as we'd spoken to someone who had a m stayed there the both before and he said the bunks were just sheep wire so you couldn't really even use your own mattress for fear of putting a hole in it.

Finally made camp at the recommended spot under the willow trees. There's meant to be a bit of rain tonight so I hope we all stay dry!Leggi altro
