Day 3:Taiapo to Careys
Again up early and I tried not to wake Jorge. Straight after the hut you cross a swing bridge. I started to follow a 4 wheel drive track which was wrong. I almost left my poles behind so had to go back. The first part of the day involved sidling round on alpine terrain with bogs and streem crossings. The big flowers were beautiful. The contour was quite undulating. The next part was through tussock with matagauri and wild rose. Some of the valley is grazed. On Far Out app it stays clamber under the fence and that's what I had to do. In the middle of nowhere there is a seat so I had a sit down. I arrived at Boundary hut for lunch. Had seen and spoke with at least 11 people going north. You cross a swing bridge to get to Boundary hut and see the hut well before you get to it. It was then a 6 km walk on a 4 wheel drive track to Careys hut. Careys was a delightful old school hut on the lake shore. Cheryl and Malcom were there and Malcom had caught a few fish. Pablo called in on his way...
