Thread: Te Waiti hut

Well we did it, and most of what is above is correct.
Mare and Colt around the hut. Spotlighters turned up at the hut at 2:30 am for a tea and kip before riding horses back out for work saturday morning. (Said they got 2 deer and its a regular Friday thing)
Still good grass on the river flats and steeper slops with some grassy benches up a bit off the river, However most of the large grassy areas in the old pictures are gone. Pigs are back as we found rooting in the grassy areas 5-10 mtr above the river
Need to check 2019/20 satphotos.
Missed the track into the fan so started just heading up the creek bed. Spooked 1 half way up. Did not make it all the way to the fan as I had nailed a nice hind in the river just up from the hut first thing so we decided we had as much as our knees and hips could cop with to carry out anyway.
Found the old DOC track heading out that went through one of those high grassy clearings then down a dry creek back to the river.
Walking up and down across the creek was tough on the joints.
