From the biv, follow the well-marked track on the TR down to the one crossing. On the TL now, continue along the track. It turns away from the stream and climbs steeply (100m) to the 840m contour then sidles and drops down to meet the Nina River. A sharp left turn and a short distance later, the track meets the Nina River where you can drop to the shingle and cross.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

After crossing the Nina River, follow the well marked track up the Lucretia Stream, initially climbing above the gorge (160m) then descending (100m) back to the stream. Continue up the track with one crossing until reaching the biv. Lots of camping possible near the biv.
