Here is Blue Lake and Lake Constance (which is just a bit after Blue Lake). The Waiau Pass is after Lake Constance, but we did not go there. #tramping #HutLife
Blue Lake is not actually on the Travers-Sabine Circuit but it's worth an extra day at Blue Lake Hut to visit. That sentence is misleading advertising, though: here are the pictures from just before Blue Lake. #tramping
Back to Aotearoa: I don't think I have posted these pictures from the Travers-Sabine back in February 2024. #tramping #HutLife
Reposting to not break the thread. This is a lot of pictures. I've posted them before, I think, but here are the pictures from the main Cascade Saddle part again, since they appeared in the May photos post. #tramping

#Introduction
Kia ora! Iโ€™m Matt - husband, dad to two (mostly) grown-up humans, and based in a small island nation tucked away in the South Pacific. #Aotearoa

Iโ€™m in the Fediverse because I believe in an open Internet that connects and grows communities of people, free from the commercial imperatives and perverse incentives of BigTech.

Iโ€™ve been a techno-geek for as long as I can remember, and blog about my journeys with tech at https://mattjhayes.com. I also gravitate to maker projects that give me an excuse to buy more #RaspberryPi

I mostly post about tech stuff, but content may also include photos of my dog being a doof, or some nice scenery that has caught my eye.

Other interests include hiking ๐Ÿฅพ (in my country we call this #tramping), travel, skiing, photography and mountain biking.

One of the wholesome things about the tramping fb groups was how a question like this would get a lot of answers. If you click through to the archive listing there's a lot of narrative about the area, and already some solid suggestions about which hut this is.

Here are some more views mostly from the Cascade Saddle walk, including Mount Mฤori (thanks for the id!), a tarn with tufts, and a silty stream. #SouthernAlps #tramping
