Day 70 | Tin Hut
22 December 2022 | 17°C | 23km
It’s always great to sleep in a tent after a few town days. Birds singing in the morning and the sound of a river in the distance.
Just the mosquitoes are destroying a peaceful and quiet breakfast experience. The morning walk is the usual up and down on a narrow trail either on the left side or the right side of the river, and sometimes also in the river.
Top Timaru Hut is the lunch stop of this sunny day ☀️ before we head up to Martha’s saddle at 1690m, the highest elevation so far. Also the first location to touch some snow, though it is just a small patch. Very cold hands after a little snowball fight. 🥶
Nice happy ending after a long but awesome day when we unexpectedly find a small hut. Just a quick wash in the cold river before jumping into the sleeping bag. Brrrrrr!
