Tribulation Hut Jun 2015

The forecast is crap again. Severe gales and possible heavy rain around the divide means plan A is off the cards again. After studying the weather patterns Chris suggests a trip to Tribulation Hut on the west side of Mount Hutt. It should be more sheltered and drier. It's been a while since we've been tramping so we are ready for any suggestion. It turns out to be a great weekend!
