Take it from someone who twisted their ankle every few months in their teens whilst tramping/mountaineering/possum trapping: let it heal properly or it will come back and bite you on the arse. Says someone who now has their ankle fused. Its a right real bastard, but fusing it was the only way to stop the pain and the recurring twisting.

6 Hours is probably a little on the fast side, to get all the way into mid po. I spent 5 nights in there in the roar and went up to nagmoko for one. There are plenty of deer around mid po we struggled up by Ngamoko. The cattle creek stream is the best I’ve found though. My Mrs went in there last weekend with a girlfriend and shot two in the creek. I’ve had the same luck in there before. The river between Mid po and Ngamoko is good apart from one or two deeper crossings it’d be hard work after a rain event.
