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

Not on this date, just some time in summer.

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

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
