Boulder Lake - Kahurangi National Park

Saturday 19/09/2020

A nice drive over the Takaka hill and onto Collingwood then past the Bainham store and over that James Road Right Branch bridge to park up spot with an intentions book.

Walk time. Says eight to ten hours, had read a horror story of "its twelve hours!".  For me this weekend, traveling light, with good weather was a cruise of seven hours each way including photo and food stops.

At the hut, only one there. Nice old historic hut, aint sleeping in it.

Up once the sun was good and warm and the frost was melting.

Breakfast and coffee and a read for an hour or so, then firewood mission.
