Yesterday I started with an attempt to walk the Travers-Sabine circuit, this is at the very start, at the Kerr Bay Campground, Kerr Bay, Lake Rotoiti

Lots of fungi in the forest

Still a long way to Lakehead Hut but the views are nice

More fungi

Quite a lot of low cloud, and more is coming

Lakehead Hut, the people I met there all told me the weather forecast for the next few days was very bad with lots of rain, which made me decide to return home the next day (which is today) and try again in a short while when (if) the weather improves

Early this morning

Crossing the Travers River when it’s so cold is not the nicest thing to start the day

Shame about the bad weather the coming days as today it’s actually pretty nice

Lower Travers Valley Track

Some bird, I think a New Zealand Falcon but I could be completely wrong

The view from Coldwater Hut

Coldwater Hut

Whisky Falls just off the Lakeside Track

Beautiful sunset at the Weka Pass

Still a beautiful ending to an abandoned attempt, Travers-Sabine Circuit is to be continued…
