After a few days of rain,\u00a0 the rivers may be impassable so we have decided to skip down the track a bit and go back in at the start of Two Thumbs Track. This involves a couple of bus rides and a shuttle, so for the next 2 rainy days we will be travelling but out of the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pete took the bus to Christchurch this afternoon,&nbsp; and will fly back to Hobart tomorrow. We loved having him join us and appreciate him spending the time and money. Thanks again Pete (and Andra!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"January 21, 2026Hanmer SpringsHiked today: 0.0 km We&#8217;ve had a successful zero day in all respects.
