The shuttle from Muddy Creek is at 2:30PM and it's a 6-8 hour walk from Shelter Rock Hut, so we left pretty early. Maybe the first part would have been more scenic if there had been more light. #BirdsNZ

There's a good section of road at the end of the track and one wonders why the road end is quite so far. People offroad on the last part of the track. But one then sees that the Muddy Creek crossing is pretty serious, and I wouldn't really want to do that in a normal car. I had also heard about bogs on the way to Muddy Creek (can you tell from the name?) but managed to avoid most of them. We got to the pickup spot at 12:30 and the sandflies noticed us, so I set up the tent to keep away from the sandflies. The shuttle got there an hour early, though, which was nice.
