January 10 13.2km 7.5 hrs
A fine day, so time to set off down a better track - although the warnings re wasps and some carefully navigated steep sidling were apparent enough. So grateful to reach the Mid Wairoa hut for a late morning stop in the sunshine. A 400m+ climb ahead of us, so on we went at a steady pace, appreciating the good track that zigzagged its way up through the bush.
A little bit of drizzle at one point, but more from cloud than from rain, as we navigated our way past two intersections and then down a short distance to the Tarn Hut. Which predictably enough was beside a lovely big tarn, surrounded by bush. Tadpoles galore, and then at night the frogs really set to, although you could not hear them from inside the hut.
