25-26 February. Six of us and four dogs headed in to Burn hut which is in the Tararuas behind Shannon. It was a long, slow drive into the hills past a series of dams and lakes for the power scheme that was developed here between 1920-1924. The power station is still operating.

| My tent, Bev and Gary slept in bivvie bags with their four dogs sleeping outside too. It was sunny when this photo was taken but the night turned cold and windy. We were all warm enough though and my tent stayed up! |
