Weekend hike

Sep 21, 2026

Good evening all it’s been another fantastic weekend on the trails , walked the big river 4 wheel drive road through to the old ghost town of Waiutu

Spent a night at big river hut explored the area had lots of laughs and saw some mines etc.

Sprained my bicep pretty badly so off work for 10 days which is all I have left in Greymouth, not the way I wanted to end my work here but it is what it is,

Next plan so to head back to Queenstown and keep walking along the greenstone track toward Fiordland’s and the bluff
