The bivvy with the iron is Ngamuwahine, which is on the main North South track and about an hour and a half walk from Mangamuka hut. What you see is what you get there. THose photos look as if they were take in summer, BC ! Rusky, take 2 compasses or one plus a GPS and 2 spare sets of batteries. Many a circle and figur 8 has been walked .... Wish I was up there now but can't for a while.

The deer do like to hang out in supplejack on top of spurs but if I was at Waitawheta I'd go up the trach SW of the hut and hunt across the little saddle and down a creek towards the "m" of stream. They like moist gullies where the bush is a bit open. yet sheltered from any prevailing breeze. The Waitawheta has about 20 crossings to get to te hut and will be all knee deep cold and shady at this time of year. There are some massive bluffs in that area so don't cut it too fine in the evening.
