Marchant Direct

Saturday 12/09/2015

On my own wanting to drop off Marchant Ridge into Eastern Hutt hut, in a direct way. Didnt work out as I got into scrubby bush and a bit of a bluff after I tried to drop into a creek that leads almost directly to the hut.

Cold out of the sun

Decided that it was a bit cold to sleep out as I was going to run out of light, so went home; and I will next try the spur all the way. No more going West off it.
