Just got back from walking the Overland Track with a couple of newbies. The weather was a bit wet for a few days and we spent a fair bit of time in the huts with the other hords that were around.
Leon, one of my co walkers, discovered he had "lost" his brand new Goretex overpants ($180) when we crawled into Narcissus Hut late on Saturday afternoon. Now Leon is one of those "arrive and spread your gear" types and I expected something like this to happen as for the previous couple of days I had been finding his stuff everywhere........
This morning I got an email, via my blog, from a young American couple who had noticed the pants at Kia Ora , thought they were Leon's and carried them out to the visitors centre at Lake St Clair. Good effort I reckon.
Has anyone else had an experience like this while they were bushwalking?
