Richard says that he Rion and Andy had an awesome climb up Mt Brewster on Wednesday 16th Dec. Richard took them back to Makarora before he headed off to Mt Cook Village to drop off the food for the 4th leg. Richard also took all of the climbing gear to Mt Cook as Rion and Andy are not planning any climbs just wandering through the valleys and up the passes.
Andys feet are fine now that he has the accent shoes and just uses the tramping boots for climbing. Rion and Andy will phone on Christmas day and will probably get to Mt Cook sometime between Christmas and New Year. Obviously this part of the tramp does not have many other trampers as there has not been any mail come our way. Maybe they should have carried a few pigeons.
The weather on the first and second leg has been awful but it is looking better for this the third leg.There was a note to Craig about tramping club issues with a small comment about having an exciting crossing of the semi flooded Wilkin. They had to pack float it, Rion wished he had taken his mothers dry bag with him so I guess he got his gear rather wet.
