Youth Group trip to Cow Creek Hut
10/11 November
Stu Hutson reports: A youth group went out last weekend (10/11 November). Only four this time owing to NZCA exams, and one parent. We were going to fly camp and cook over a fire but a number of things didn't agree. First it drizzled and occasionally rained all day. We were walking in clouds for big sections of the day. Second one of the students came down with the flu. We took all the gear out of the student’s pack and loaded up the rest. We got to the hut and decided to use it. We got a fire going and kept the student warm and filled with fluids. The next morning was a slow trip back to the car park with many rest and food stops.
