January 18 27km 8 hours
Awoke to a cold but clear morning with ice on my tent. Across the river flats to the new Anne River Hut, now no longer near the river after its recent rebuild, and then up the picturesque Anne valley towards the Anne Saddle. At this point I passed two family groups - one with an eager 5 year old - still eager after a few days on the walkway.
Over the Saddle and then down to and then along the Boyle valley. A few parts had obvious recent storm / flood damage, but no significant issues with that. Checked out the Boyle Flats Hut (Great location) which is accessed by its own swing bridge, and then continued on to the smaller Magdalen Hut, which is just 20 minutes off the main walkway. Sunny afternoon, so able to dry all gear - even my socks, although I well knew that in 2 minutes' walking the next morning they would be wet again !
