Mangahao Flats A Hut, Tararua FP, Oct 2018

With Nicola & Flo

Not to far east of Shannon we passed the Mangahao Power Station and moved from tar-seal to gravel for a further 30-40 minute drive to the road end.

The Burn Hut track starts at the Mangahao Lower No 2 Reservoir.

Even Flo wasn't keen to join me

Nearing Harris Creek

As we neared Harris Creek we were on the lookout for signs of the old Harris Creek Hut, but not much worth mentioning was there.

A note to our good mate, Guy Lane


A superb place to be

Avoiding the track above the slip 

Happy to be in the hills together
