Thread: 12 days/11 nights in the Kawekas

Day 4 – Sunday 4th December
Another fairly late rising (becoming a habit…) and I had breakfast while chatting to Matt and Zoe (while they were kept busy throwing sticks for my dog!). They had gone from the biv via Rocks Ahead to Manson hut on Friday, and stayed at the old Manson hut on Friday night. They shot a spiker on the hut clearing. Then on Saturday they walked from Manson via Kiwi Mouth to the biv, and today were heading out to the Makahu carpark. They weren’t looking forward to the climb, with the temperature forecast to hit 19 degrees in the afternoon. They headed off just after 10am. I did some late morning glassing, and spent the early afternoon napping in the biv. In the evening I had yet another freeze-dri meal and headed up the main ridge to glass the area to the south. No deer seen.
