Still pouring down as it had all night long. Beautiful breakfast, Muesli with Berries made by Luca then Bacon, Eggs etc. cooked by Maud and Guillaume. Farewells – good luck Luca finding a job. Hitched with a Dutch couple in a tiny rental – packs on our laps – to the restart of the trail. 6kms of gravel road to Princhester Hut for lunch then through a nice piece of forest up to the saddle. From there we encountered forest and tussuck sections all the way to the hut.
