A mid-week overnight tramp into the new Atiwhakatu Hut with Richard and James. Although we had camped in a tent before, this was the boys' first overnight in a hut.
The hut was very nice and new, having only been open for about a month. Although a bit cold and damp outside the hut remained pleasantly warm. There was lots of potential firewood outside, but most in large blocks that would require a chainsaw to cut.
In the month that it had been open the hut had seen many visitors, including a party earlier in the week. A couple of runners stopped in to check out the hut in the evening, but we were the only people staying that night.
On the walk out Richard and James initially raced off ahead, but James stopped for a drink after 2km. From there on we walked together. We met Richard briefly at E Holdsworth turnoff but then didn't see him until back at the car.
