My K4 should be here soon. Glad you like yours.
Last time I was up there there were plenty of gut bags on the tops. That little blue 22 had been through I was told. Still, they're not stopping making them.
The pinch up Black Ridge to Sawtooth is pretty sketchy if I remember too.
I see in the same country, Smiths Stream has been given a birthday and a new track cut from Hinerua down. That was another tough track.

Yeah she's a great throne to do ya business on alrighty

They did a great job of doing up the toilet & biv a couple years back, The Biv was toasty warm & the new alloy window is awesome ( Pity they never put a little deck or veranda to store ya gear but appreciate the work the grew put in ) Re the new shitter is now set a little higher ( on a grouse new deck ) but you can see it from the Biv, Dunc took a vid of me enjoying the view hahahahaha

Here's a couple of extra pic's that brads never posted up including one for James, pity the sawtooth was clouded in.


PS - I was really impressed with the condition of the track so great to see some work being put into maintenance, Re - Smiths stream hut should be on everyone's bucket list, it's definitely an entertaining place to stay the night.









I carried my walking -bang stick all the way up n back & didn't fire a shot, hopeless aye hahaha
