Travel from Bob’s hut was reasonably straight forward, generally descending, but with undulations. I reached the two-wire bridge by 4pm (Figure 7a) and made my way up the East Matakitaki on a reasonably straight forward track, reaching the East Matakitaki Hut by 6:30pm. The East Matakitaki Hut is lovely forest service original hut, in a beautiful setting. Since my last visit it had received a new red roof. Other than that, it was the same comfortable hut, with our entry from two years ago just a few pages back.
