South Ohau Hut

Again the trip was destined to not go as planned, the Nichols thing. This time the rain was excessive so we went for dry and warm rather than wet and cold.

The whisky for this trip was Springbank 15yo, a very enjoyable whisky.

We headed off up the South Ohau even though it was a bit deeper and pushy than normal. Raining before we got to the hut and the river was getting dirty and rising. Took longer to get than the hut than expected, once there got a fire going and relaxed with a beer and whisky.

A leisurely day and a wee walk up the valley.

Sunday 29/09/2013
Our out day, river going down, but still too much for a gorge trip.

In the end we decided best to be going up the escape route, nice fungi back again.
