Excitement this weekend was an overnighter at Powell hut in the Taurarua Mountains just 1.5 hours north of Wellington. Ian and I headed up Saturday after lunch and although its only 3 and a half hours to the hut it feels pretty much up most of the way (1300m). Great hut though - perched on the side of the mountain with excellent views from the balcony - though the wind really did howl through the gaps at night time.
So after about 5 hours sleep we took the river route back and had a bit of a paddle in the swimming pool along with the other biting creatures, but it was gorgeous and sunny so it didnt matter. On returning to car, Karen fell promptly asleep zzzz....
but woke in time to play Munchkin with friends on Sunday night.
