Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[eggs]

It was very hippy style.
Our 2 girls were in a caravan which had no wheels and we were in an upper level where you had to duck to miss the rafters.

Wonderful setting though - a BBQ tea laid on at an outside picnic table with views down the valley to Otanerito Bay.

Could be Lake Howden?

Could be Lake Howden?

Roughly the right area, but the wrong lake - I saw this lake on the same walk as my previous one.

Massive clue. I was trying to think about the low altitude of the surrounds.
Skirting Lake Sylvan
I think I would like to go over the Sugarloaf Pass on that route - weather being kind.

Correct. Lake Sylvan.

We modified our 5 passes route to exit via Lake Nerine and North Col, to leave via the North Routeburn rather than the more typical route out the Rockburn. This was to give options of a high route past Mt Erebus and Lake Wilson if the weather permitted.

[eggs]

You were doing the 5 Passes - not the 3 passes.
Does that mean you went past Sylvan on the way to the Beans Burn?

Lets try naming this NZ waterfall/stream?

[icefest]

Looks like twins creek! From near the Arthus pass road.

We did do 5 passes: Fohn, Fiery, Cow, Park, and North Col!

[eggs]

Correct - view of the 115m metre falls on Twin Creek from the Arthurs Pass - Dobson Memorial

I presume you had crampons for that trip?

[icefest]

I presume you had crampons for that trip?

No. We knew that the typical 5 passes route was good to go at that time in that year, and had enough food/time to walk out in different ways if there were any snowfields to cross.

Still in NZ

Reminds me of the Remarkables - but I cannot get it to fit.

That's a bit far south. It's not that far from your photo.

Another massive clue - where you at Temple Basin?

I was. That is Mt Rolleston in view.

[eggs]

Yes - Rolleston was in mind.
Staying in NZ

About to pass through the Rakaia River gorge on the way to Mt Hutt.

[icefest]

Is that Mt Hutt up there in the clouds?
That would put you on the rakaia river.

[eggs]

Indeed it does icefest

[icefest]

Still in NZ, keeping with the river theme.

other side of the divide

[icefest]

I am at a very well visited (and often washed out) walking track on the West Coast.

Looks similar to my shot nearing the base of Franz Josef glacier

Yes!
The river in view is the Waiho River

[eggs]

A bit more swollen than our visit.

Staying in NZ.

NZ, well known place

[Walk_fat boy_walk]

I'm thinking tongariro somewhere, but can't narrow it down. Maybe Oturere valley?

yes, blue ice and sastrugi over the top of red crater in august, impossible without crampons, ran into quite a few people wanting to walk over red crater to see emerald lakes, no clue at all about the conditions, wearing street clothing and footwear...

[Walk_fat boy_walk]

Cool. Nz again..
