Not sure how many heard that a tramper was killed when he slipped off the track just before the Nikau hut in the Waioeke gorge a week back. This hut is the next one up from where the BOP forum hunt group went in prior to Xmas. I have been across that slip a number of times - it is a shitty little piece with no handholds, a foot wide track, and a straight drop onto the rocks. Just goes to show that we should all take care out there. He was 75 years old and fit as a buck rat - just rolled on a stone! My condolences to his family.
