This weekend we headed up towards Arthur’s pass to camp for the weekend.
We had pretty decent weather (this summer has mostly been a washout). There’s a lovely circuit the cass lagoon which we just did the first part of. Once you’re up towards the saddle there are some tarns up there and we’d been told there were some decent camping spots, so off we went.
It was a decent old hike up hill for Anna. Approx 600m of elevation gain and some boggy parts to navigate. She did really well and basically didn’t complain (the second day was a slightly different affair, but, on the whole really good!).
We had to look about for a good camping spot. Down by the tarns 43°03’01.0″S 171°35’49.1″E was where we setup.
It was a lovely evening, just great to be out in the fresh air. Maaike was extremely brave and went for a dip, and Anna went in too. A little bit too much cold-wind blowing about for me to jump in too. Maybe next time ;)
