Last night was a busy night for Top Hut at the head of the West Branch of the Manuherikia River. With the first group calling it a day at around 8:30 pm, riders continued to pour in until after midnight. 20+ riders enjoyed the relative comforts of the hut (relative that is if you scored a bunk while the rest enjoyed the tussock outside).

Thanks. We have decided to continue on. We'll probably stop and camp before the saddle.

The morning mist was slow to burn off with the sun not making it through and little or no wind.
