Time for another hike<\/a>, to the Packhorse Hut<\/a> this time<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The beginning of the track isn’t the most interesting to be honest<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Innitially it’s a bit of paddock hopping<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

But eventually we reach a forest and it gets more interesting and the views better<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

These are the ‘Remarkable<\/a> Dykes<\/a>‘, I was expecting something else tbh but on the other hand finding dykes here would have been quite remarkable by itself<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The dykes again<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A bit of shelter from the bright sun in the tree covered parts of the track<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The Packhorse Hut, it’s busy today, more people had the splendid idea to go here today<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Inside the hut, front room, must be fantastic here in winter with the fireplace going<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The bunks in the back room<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Plenty of water in the hut, the hut overlooks Lyttelton Harbour but you can also see the Canterbury Plains from here and the Kaituna Valley to the south<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Time for a nap<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And we’re on our way back, bye bye hut<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A look back to where the hut is, just a few minutes away behind that hill on the right<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Through the woods again, it smells lovely of pine here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Rachel looking back towards Mt Bradley, the hut itself is right in that little saddle behind the pine trees<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Lyttelton Harbour and Moepuku in the distance<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
