Interesting.. Looks like hard work to me.
That would be a place I would not want to go or could not for that matter.
So Thanks for sharing your wonderful series of photo's.

The word masochist springs to mind ------
I rather like the massive distortion in some of those shots Desmond, they are entirely in keeping with the terrain and top of the world views.
I would have got as far as the bridge and that would have been the end of me unless someone came by with a helicopter to transport me over the void.

Masochist ???
I met a girl from New York in the last hut , she told me that a few days earlier when she got to that bridge she stood and cried for a while before forcing herself to cross it .
I never really noticed much difference though between that and the 4 other bridges I crossed .

Wonderful series of documentary photography. It was a pleasure going through the whole series.

Thanks , I wish I was feeling lit it was a pleasure today ! limp limp .....

It leaves me with a good story to tell

thanks Desmond. This was a great read and eye opener as well. Great pics even though they were from your head gear. I`ll get my son to read this...he just got back last night from the Kepler track and loved it. Him and his older brother and myself are doing the Milford track in november.....I`ve gotta get a bit fitter for that.

The Milford track is very easy - mostly flat walking up a valley until the third day when you climb up the pass , hopefully you get a good view !
