Jenn and Nanna Mary are hiking the Milford Track. Today is day 1. The DOC offered a full refund to all hikers as part of the hike (Day 2 trek) is closed due to avalanche danger. However, for $60NZ they also provide a helicopter lift over the avalanche field if you choose to hike. So Nanna and Jenn committed (they can always take the chopper out in a worst case scenario). They have some 1 m deep water wading to do as well. The weather report showed snow dropping to 300 m in Fiorldland Park. I think Mary will be glad she borrowed my down vest. The cold water should numb the pain at least! The weather outlook is not too bad. Rain on day-2, snow likely. Then some "fine spells" as the week progresses. Go girls!!
