This is an overview of our 4 day mission in the Nelson lakes district of New Zealand's South Island. We started the journey by sea kayaking around lake Rotoroa to D'Urville Hut for the night, then an early start to paddle across the lake to Sabine hut and stash the boats to set off tramping to Speargrass hut for a lunch stop. We then pushed on into the night off track along the ridge to arrive at Angelus Hut around 8:00pm. After a well deserved sleep we departed along the MT Cedric route towards Sabine Hut for the night. The last day we paddled the remainder of the lake to arrive back where it all started.
