    The walk in is really enjoyable

    I’d pay to fly back out but not for the way in

    Bugger paying that. Just walk. Back in the day it was not uncommon to go from makahu to BRB or vice versa in 4 1/2 hours. I think 3:45 with a small pack was my PB.

    Thats cool. So you guys will come along and carry the bulk of my gear. I reckon I will max out at about 10kg including gun. Nathan and 7mmsaum are my new friends

    Yeah ... and prices of some of their more sth-eastern private blocks over $2k for H500 too. Be interesting to see if there are many takers.

    Yep, that's correct, that's the price for both ways (in and out) for the chopper, for 1-4 people (with 4 you ain't taking much gear!), but there is a 10% discount for NZDA members. Half the price for a one way trip.
