Purity Hut - Ruahines Mtns - The land slip shows the Purity Hut at the top of the trees to the left. It is a shiny object. The Wanganui Tramping Club reached the hut at 10:30 and tramped for another 3 hours beyond and higher than the Purity Hut. I had to call it quits at noon and eat. We just kept going Up, Up, Up and the bongo noises in my ears was my heart racing to keep up with the pace. I now know the question I should ask in return if asked am I fit and that is "have you recently been hiking in Nepal?" Turns out the group I was with were capable of hiking right up to the base camp at Everest. I was out of my league but kept up bravely and with a lot of help from the group. The leader, Dave, even lent me his walking stick which meant he had a much steeper and more dangerous descent.
