We really wanted to go to Mangahao hut and drove to the end of the road, but freaked when we saw a nasty tramping club van at the end along with many cars. Dont want to be in a hut full of them tramping club members. So we headed off and decided on North Ohau. A few hours of extra driving, but it was worth it, as North Ohau was tramping club free.
