Pudding! It's hard to get fresh fruit and vegetables up the mountain and there's only so many dried apricots you want to eat in one go, so Dann has introduced me to fruit purées. It's a bonus that they are suitable from 4 months onwards!! LZ

It's worth it! The DOC (Department of Conservation) huts are pretty basic, no hot water, no shower, long shared bunk beds with thin mattresses but this one has flushing loos, lots of gas cookers, a wood burning stove and a balcony to watch the sun set over the stunning scenary. The walk here was pretty good too! Day one of the Kepler track successfully completed. Yay. LZ

Tea time Second time round on a three-day walk, we are better prepared. We have some light pans, we've thought the food through better but somehow we didn't remember the mugs. Tea in the saucepan tastes good after a long walk though. Phew. LZ
