Day 3, up into the high country …Difficult to judge scale by a photo … but note the tiny Angela at the bottom left of the pic.Forest Burn Shelter, one of 2 emergency shelters along the Alpine section of the track.Finally descending down to the river valley.Iris Burn Hut from our campground in the valley.Evening walk to a nearby waterfall. If we waited until dark, we probably would have seen Kiwi birds … but we were way too exhausted for that : pDay 4, miles more beech and fern forests … 16 miles of them on our final day out!! Pain …… and delirium.Pit stop at the Moturau Hut … which was all booked up. Hence the brutal 16 mile death march to our car.
