I love the Ahuriri Valley, I go there every time I’m down in Omarama. I only recently learned there’s a track from here to the Dingle Burn, it’s this track I walked yesterday (in) and today (out again)<\/p><\/div>\n

My 4×4 really proved its worth in this valley<\/p><\/div>\n

Very close near the start of the track, looking back at the Barrier Range<\/p><\/div>\n

Looking up, it doesn’t seem far, they even say it’s only 2.5 hours to the hut on the other side, I doubt it<\/p><\/div>\n

Higher up the mountain, looking back in the direction of Omarama<\/p><\/div>\n

On top of the ridge, glad I made it. It’s downhill from here on. Highlander Peak in the background, if you’d follow that valley all the way up you’d end up at a beautiful icy lake that I’ve often photographed when flying there on the Huxley Range<\/p><\/div>\n

A little lower on the Dingle Burn side, the valley floor becoming visible<\/p><\/div>\n

The track down is steep! It won’t be long before I make it to the valley floor. Leaning Mount across the valley<\/p><\/div>\n

Close to the forest, looking south in the direction the Dingle Burn flows<\/p><\/div>\n

Out of the forest, looking north<\/p><\/div>\n

I decided to have a quick look at the Top Dingle Hut and decide to camp instead of staying at the hut<\/p><\/div>\n

I look ridiculous with that hat, I need to find me something that looks cooler than this<\/p><\/div>\n

A new morning<\/p><\/div>\n

It has been raining for hours, luckily it has stopped so I can quickly have some breakfast (One Square Meal) and pack up my tent, I’m afraid the rain will come back<\/p><\/div>\n

For a little while the sun shines but there’s still a lot of cloud drifting this way<\/p><\/div>\n

But, for now it’s looking good, especially to the south<\/p><\/div>\n

Isn’t this a beautiful place to camp?<\/p><\/div>\n

I decide to head back and not explore the rest of the valley, I didn’t bring a waterproof jacket and want to avoid the rain I think is heading this way, so it’s up through the forest again and it’s again very steep, causing me to stop often and catch my breath<\/p><\/div>\n

Above the forest, it seems I was right about the rain, it’s definitely raining further south and quickly approaching<\/p><\/div>\n

On the top of the ridge again, it’s drizzling, in fact it has been for the last 20 minutes, yuk<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s looking better on the Ahuriri Valley side again, clouds but no rain<\/p><\/div>\n

Yay! My car is still there, and it has got some Diet Coke waiting in there for me. Choice!<\/p><\/div>\n

Looking back north from about halfway up the Ahuriri valley, Barrier Range on the right, Huxley Range in the far distance<\/p><\/div>\n

Looking towards the Diadem Range<\/p><\/div>\n

Ben Avon<\/p><\/div>\n

I left right on time, it’s now raining where I had my car parked. Anyway, this was a beautiful hike!<\/p><\/div>\n
