    I went for a wander again. This time I climbed to the top of the Ruahines. Had a bite to eat at the hut. It turned real cold and nasty while on top. Saw a bit of sign. On my way back down it started pissing down. There is two photos here looking over the top of dry creek,but I didn't get to close to the edge as the wind would of blown me over. Enjoy the pics.

    Great place Dundee.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    The hut looks way tidier than last time we where there
    Did you go back down the track or slip mate?

    It looks pretty barren in there. How many bunks are there?

    I guess you would want to take a hootchie or Hennesey hammock or some other shelter just in case it was full then.

    I walked back down the track Brads as it turned to shit real quick and couldn't even see the "Cats Paw" on the way down.

    Sakokid yeah I glassed slips on way up.

    Rushy all that you see of the inside of the hut is on those two pics,no matresses,no fire but just a shelter but you certainly appreciate it when you hike to the top.
