Kia ora Pete, What a lovely spot, one which immediately struck me as familiar. I suspect that same spot may be under a bit of snow at the moment. Cheers, Robb
Kia ora Robb. Yeah, I love this spot — in good weather it's nice and warm, if it's foul, the bush is handy for shelter, and in any weather it has a lovely sense of altitude. You're probably right about the snow, although this nor'wester might be melting it fast. But oh, it'd be good to be at Pourangaki hut now.
Rain cloud over the central Ruahine, December 2007. This is where the snowgrass meets the bush; from here it's a steep descent to the delightful Pourangaki hut.
Kia ora Pete,
