Katie, Kerry, and I hooned up to Arthurs Pass in the evening, arriving at Kelly’s Creek around 7 pm. From there we strutted up the track to Carroll Hut arriving just before 9 pm with still enough daylight to cook dinner. Yay. We spent the evening in the hut and then walked out along the Kelly Range the next day, dropping down to the Taipo and heading out to the road. The ladies were extremely efficient at getting a hitch back to the car, and then it was back to Christchurch in the evening.
