Colin and Julie at the Mt Humphries Junction sign after we came back down They're both smiling cos they wisely didnt take their packs up.
Hops contemplating. The time on the sign is pretty accurate, What it doesnt specify is that coming down takes about 20 minutes of that time. You can see some of the slope up to the summit in the background - it gets more interesting further up
View through the trees
View of Mt Ngaruhoe(Left) and Ruapehu (right). Cloud coming in
This is morning of day three ready to leave Pouri Hut. Today is a day of rain and mist
As previously but Colins checking his heart is still beating. You may think that hops poncho is a subject of some mirth but it worked in these conditions amazingly well.
Colin and Julie - recursive photograhs
On the trail under the foliage, gorgeously lush and wet Kathryn contemplates trees, Lindsey is just starting to enjoy himself
Colin and Julie - Why are they so happy? - Its wet dammit.
Now everyone else is happy - and its still wet
