No summits on this trip, but heaps of fun tramping. We started in the Tararuas, going from the Pines along the Waingawa River (Barra Track) to Mitre flats, the last bit in the dark. We had the hut to ourselves (well, other than a determined mouse). After a recovery night in Martinborough, we took the incredibly dramatic Haurangi Road to the old track along the East Branch of the Turanganui River to Mt Ross (pictured). We also discovered the dramatic Waiohine Gorge, and plan to return for more exploration.
