A snowy weekend at Pohangina Base. After settling in on Saturday we drove up the Takapari Road as far as it was safe due to the heavy snow. Then we continued on foot while the snow continued to fall. Soon after we returned back to the cars. About 2.5 hours all up. Then we drove back to the warmth and comfort of the lodge. We enjoyed a wonderful pot luck buffet along with mulled wine and card games. Sunday morning we went on the No. 1 Line track. Then a few left for home while the remainder decided to do the Branch Road walkway in the afternoon.
