Headed away tramping with Maaike for the weekend. First time in a while I’d been able to muster up the energy to get out. Well, that and Snowpool was successfully launched so had some time again ;)
Just a cruisey walk up the Nina Valley and then onto devilskin biv.
(do like the new topomap site!)
My camera is totally dying – definitely time to get a new Ixus I think, and keep the old one for snowboarding / getting mashed about.. really not too happy with these pictures to be honest.
The biv was just a small (new) two person hut. We did have a tent just in-case anyone else was there, but we had the place to ourselves. Games were played, food was eaten, wine was drunk, and for a while, earthquakes were forgotten.

They must’ve put this biv in reasonably recently because just a few years back I went up there and there was one of the old school hunters’ bivs. Have they removed that one entirely? I see the location has changed on the topo map too.

Yup, 2007 is when it went up – completely new. If the old biv was down the hill a bit by the river…? then yes, that has been completely removed.
Nice place though – but I totally have to get a new camera.. my little one is dying and a bunch of the pics didn’t come out so well.

Good to see they’ve fixed the door. I went up there early January in high gusty wind and the door ripped off and blew down the saddle!

Ouch… no twas all fixed up.. great little spot (though if the old one had a fireplace that would have been handy too!)
