Ok. So, I suggest that Andrea, me and anyone else keen? will head after AIC to National park and do some other tracks there on Monday. Could you Scott and Matthias arrive there already during Monday? If not, then let's do the crossing on Wednesday. Scott, you mentioned hot pools..Where abouts are they? Yep, I'll pack my things ready. But I want to make sure that someone will drive to Welly during Wednesday. I know this is an awesome country but I don't want to get stacked here but fly to enjoy +27 degrees in Finland;)!

Oh yeah about the track: well even the guides didn't tramp the crossing for many days due to the weather conditions... sure  I trust Scott's experience, just don't want to end up in hospital again....
