Milford Track Dec 2010

In December I walked the Milford Track. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. Things got a little nasty along the way, with 400mm of rain in 24hours and 150km/h winds. This resulted in us and 40 other people having to be helicopter rescued from McKinnon Pass. Here are a few shots. Will post a trip report up at some stage.
