After a couple of weather-induced postponements, eight intrepid Wellington section members headed to climb Mt Tapuae-o-Uenuku. The team wrote up the trip report with each person writing a haiku for a section of the trip.
Adventure, ahoy! We arrive in awe to our Palatial road-end
Packs on, so heavy Wetsuit socks to keep feet warm Hodder trudge begins
Up river marching, Sun high, wet boots, heavy packs Huts ahead, tea time!
Dark misty torchlights Ghostly cairn, splashing water Whiteout, wind, get down
Retreat from saddle How did we find our way here Boots off, fresh coffee
On a sugar high Downstream dead goat water, yum Bridge in sight, job done!
Drive back from the tramp, Sheep blocking the road baaa baaa Good food and a sleep
Hurry up and wait Rugby, food, potbelly stoves Sleepy ferry rides
