Looking to the hills from the car park.
Getting ready to leave the car park.
Heading in.
Blisters only 45mins into the hike in.
Me on the walk in.
Jase on the walk in.
Breath taking views.
Looking up the valley over a pool of trout.
Quite pool of trout.
looking back down the valley
Nice big brown trout caught using survival skills
Arriving at the hut
Our beds
 Got the fire going and socks drying asap.
 Looking down the valley that we hiked up. Our home for the next two nights.
 Looking up the valley from the hut.
 Fire burning to try get the body temp up again. We think it would have dropped to around -10 this night and we slept in thermals in cloths in the sleeping bags with beanies on and only just kept warm.
 Me standing on some 1" thick ice about 500m from our hut

 Our chosen position to wait for the Tahr to come past
