Used to cut through there generally on the verge of a huge southerly or tail of a nor' west, for frost work. Would cut across from Burnbrae along the Matakitaki and over the Sabine hut. It would be clean air until you hit the wind coming over those lakes and geez it could scream out of there. Sucked if in a 2 blade system.
Seen a huge Cham 10 1/2 at least, near a hut by one of those lakes once just dozing on an shallow ridge. Come round a corner and the was a bloke carrying a rifle, walking in the other direction. I roared in to tell him and got the fingers and waving arms so thought fuck ya and carried on to Blenhiem.
