Day 5 - Arthur's Pass

Arthurs Pass "tramp" Cass to Cora Lynn Road.

Day 4 of the walk: West Harper hut to Lagoon saddle hut 4 hours walking. The miriad 300mm step ups while carrying a pack are getting to my knees and thigh muscles!  44 crossings 17 full foot immersions.

A view of the slopes and one of the creeks.



Lagoon saddle has two little huts.  One A frame on the edge of the trail which we stayed in because I just couldn't walk another step.  John and Steph had to use the one across the river for which I am eternally grateful.  We pitched our tents inside the huts incase the sandflies decided they wanted a meal.  This was a great opportunity to dry the tents off.
