You got a good point,but some times you just get lucky.they been trying to wipe them out for a few years now,but they still keep poping there heads up

I'll bring a few blocks of Smoked Marlin and sides of snapper down. Do you reckon those Welly boys would be familiar with what real fish tastes like Batty? .

Those welly boys do ok fish wise but those one eyed cantab boys whos rugby team got beat last night by wellywood rugby club.....live on red cod.....and we all no how good that tastes......not.
Yeah we still got some marlooo in the freeza from the last three kings trip.will bring some as well .maybe a big sack of mussels would not get wasted as well.you can get those sacks of frozen half shell ones for next to nothing.
yeah cant wait to eat to much and drink to much,bring it on.

Im pretty sure the only way to empty them is with buckets of lime.

If anyone can get some, that would be mint.

About 3/4 of the way up, looking down the valley....


Looking down the valley from the hut today....


My parking spot....


Me posing....


And the vehicle parking for those leaving tow vehicles/trailers etc....

Hey Blair
I see you are saying a few wee wash outs and that the wood is low.

I am taking a trailer south straight after this trip, and as Jerry suggested, I am happy to bring firewood down for the huts. Especially if everyone chips in a few dollars, rather than paying outrageous amounts at a service station.

My trailer is pretty high with big wheels and I've got twin diff-locks. It is very used to going strange places on weird angles. Am I likely to get through these wash-outs towing some wood in?
Not so worried about the snow issue, that I can cope with
