Mungo Hut, 12-15 November 2015

Fantastic Canterbury Anniversary weekend to the wild bit of country around Mungo Hut. We walked into Cedar Flats after work. The next day we crossed the Toaroha Range near Mt Chamberlain to Park Stream and Mungo Hut. We then made our way back to Cedar Flats via the Mungo River and Toaroha Saddle stopping at Top Toaroha Hut for a night. Team: James Thornton and Nina Dickerhof
