A long time since I have posted , but some good stuff to catch up on.
This is from the middle of July, that is when it was well cold. Isaac and I plus another son and father combo went hiking to stay in a hut owned by the scout group. The hut was originally built about 30 years ago. It has basic amenities- a small wood burner, bed spaces, water, gas cooking equipment and a long drop.
We hiked to the site, and stayed over Saturday night. It was a two hour walk through the gentle tracks.
The conditions were wet, though better than it could have been. It was not warm. It was a chilly night despoite all the layers. In the morning we went for a walk along thre river bed. The shallow waters were frozen, giving an indication of the overnight conditions.
The boys built their outside fire with difficulty as alll the wood was so damp.
An experience.
