Hurunui - Esk, 26 - 31 August 2006
Lots of snow everywhere and a poor weather forecast forced us north, and east of the main divide. We started at Lake Taylor, walked up the Hurunui north branch, over the Crawford Range into the South Branch, over Roche Pass into Ellis Stream and the Cox River, then up Bull Creek to Candlestick Biv and over the Dampier Range into the Esk River north branch.
