    Beautiful country.

    The bottom picture is of the "shoes" I wore from the Waipakahi out over the Urchin to the car park. They are usually my camp shoes but decided to try them on the walk out as it was so hot.
    They weigh 188 grams each and were fine for walking on the tracks, even the steep stuff, but useless for sidling. I was carrying a 14kg pack.
    Nice spot up there.
    What brand of shoes are they as they look good for camp shoes

    Inov8 Recolite 190.
    Got them off Torpedo 7 a couple of years ago for $70. They are great hut shoes. Supposed to be trail running shoes but good luck with that. I got them mostly for their light weight.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
