Give Penn Creek a paint --> packraft down the Otaki

DOC want us to repaint Penn Creek hut in the Tararuas. There could be a helicopter ride in it for you if you're lucky

We can send parties out to do track maintenance on the routes to Ōtaki Forks and Maungahuka hut if some people want to do that

I then want to fulfill my long-standing dream of packrafting/tubing down the Ōtaki river. I have no idea what this will be like, and have only heard stories about it. Might be worth doing some practice floats as a group. If this is not for you, very wise perhaps, there is an 8 hour track out to Otaki Forks which only gets extreme in places, or you can walk back up to Tabletop past the 2x wasp nests and down via Field Hut.

:) look forward to seeing you there

Extra: 4 people can be flown in and 4 people can be flown out of Penn Creek. We'll figure this out and see who wants to do it. For the walkers, this will probably be a 3 day, 2 night trip, spending most of one day working in and around Penn Creek.
