Above - Stephen setting off along the Du Cane Range. We did not
traverse too far. The weather quickly deteriorated and we escaped off
the range by dropping off towards Kia Ora. This proved to be quite easy.

Above - The bad weather continued. On one day - we did a side trip to
clilmb Mt Pellinger. We left the Arm River track and headed up through
easy scrub for the summit. On the top - we had no views, and found
there was a track. We followed the track back down.
