My brief History

So, this is all about what tramping huts I have been to and when, and will include a LOT of photos, trip descriptions and discussions on huts. My other tramping friends will be invited to join and post to this blog as well.
So, where have i been before???
  • Powell Hut, Tararua Ranges. Many, Many times
  • Old Mountain House, Tararua Ranges, again Many times. (not the really old Mountain House, but the one that was knocked down only a couple of years ago)
  • Smith Creek Shelter, Tararua Ranges. At least twice -photo to come
  • Tutuwai Hut, Tararua Ranges. October 2005 with my Dad. What a mare of a trip that was.
  • Clinton Hut, Milford Track, November 2003. I didnt actually do the whole track, just the first day, which I suppose means I can count Glade House as well, although we couldnt stop there because we werent staying there. At least I used the toilets at Clinton!
  • Aspiring Hut, Mt Aspiring National Park. 3 different occasions, and so drunk I couldnt hold a camera for two of them...
  • Atiwhakatu Hut, Tararua Ranges. We actually stayed at this poor excuse for a hut for a night once when I was in high school.
  • Some random old shearers hut in the high country near Lake Heron, June 2005.
  • Mangatepopo Hut, Tongariro Crossing. 21 April 2007. Passed through and got some water on my way to the rest of the track.
  • Ketetahi Hut, Tongariro Crossing, 21 April 2007. Overnighted here and it was the best damned night I've spent in a hut since Bushball...

There are others, I am sure. But do you think I can remember them at the moment??!?

So, later on (when its not 11pm) I will write up some trip reports and get some photos up here for people to look at... Later all!!!
