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.
