de rigeur is shorts and sneakers which is an excellent combination. I used it all through winter (sometimes with polypro) and it is the best combination between speed, safety and warmth I reckon.
On the way into Manakau we crossed the Hapuku (main) a dozen or so times, then Hapuku (north) about the same number. On the way out the rivers had risen quite a bit with snowmelt which made the gorge section interesting (!) and we finished a 15 hour summit day after 9 pm which made the final river section a bit freaky in the dark. Anyway maybe I should put all that in the next TR. I will get some more TRs going for Rome Ridge (Mt Rolleston), Castle Hill Peak and the Gap, and Manakau. |
