A cold morning in the hut, time for some breakfast to have the energy to make it back to the car

First we need to get to west side of Green Lake again and then over and down the mountain slightly to the right here

A last look back at Green Lake

Me

And we’re on the other side of the mountain again, walking through alll the grass, just look how high they are!

Through the forest

Very bright

Some welcome shade

As it’s quite hot now when walking with a heavy pack out in the open under a blue sky

That was the last of the high grasses

Now there’s just some more forest left

And it’s easy to walk with a well formed path

Back on the road and at the car, the power lines are the ones coming from the Underground Powerhouse at the Lake Manapouri West Arm which I visited many years ago
