Well I was reminded of my encroaching decrepitude last week when I took on the pudding hill track in molesworth. 2 hours it said, and two hours it took me plus about 2 l of water. Then 2 hours back down.
I won't say how long the Mt auregard walk took after that, but the signs estimate was a bit off and not in a good way.
So now I've slowed to DOC signpost speed you just have to keep going at your own pace and bugger the signs.

Greetings Marty Henry,
I would have pretty well made the Kiwi Saddle Hut in my younger and fitter days in the time I took today to get halfway up the first hill. Plenty of room for improvement.
