Wee solo mission I did 23rd-24th of October 2021. I don't really love solo missions, as I miss the teamwork and camaraderie. But needs must, I needed to get out in the hills to restore some sense of balance in life and couldn't find anyone keen to join me.
Selfie - I've been working on my selfie-concentrating-face and it seems to be improving!
Interesting DoC signage on the track
The track actually runs flat around the base of this hill, but I decided to go over it, packraft and all, to get a view!
It was a good thing I did, because I met my friend's mum on the track!
Closer to the hut the weather closed in as the trees did. It was quite atmospheric!
Just a casual three-wire bridge
It's not frost in this hollow, but I have no idea what it is.
Lake Manapouri with cloudy mountains behind, it was a little bit too windy for me to want to packraft back around the lake alone, so I kept walking.
Beautiful twisting tree
I always love these fungi, and here they practically make a step ladder
Beautiful lichen
