When down south my brother Andy & I went tramping along the Routeburn Track. We travelled west to east, unlike most, starting from The Divide, near the Homer Tunnel on the Milford Road. It's a three day tramp, so our wives became latte ladies on route to driving a long long way round by road to get to the other end.
This is where the hut was on the first night.
A waterfall along the way, with a wet Andy. We tried to imagine what it'd be like in the rain, but we couldn't. Trampers should allow for at least one wet day on the Routeburn. Ours was day 3 which worked out well. Unsurprisingly, on this blog are photos from sunny days 1 & 2 - day 3 we got soaked!!
Tired at the end, soaked from the rain, but happy to have spent 3 days in the Alps on a fantastic tramp. Thanks bro for suggesting it!

Just noticed you've labelled Lake Howden as the location of our first night. Although there was a hut there, we pressed on to Lake MacKenzie for the first night...
Glad you had fun although am a bit concerned to see the families leg colours revealed in all their blueness.
Are you smurfs?
