With the poor wx forecast for Q's Bay, we settled on an alternative Cass-Lagoon Saddle trip, making the most of a good saturday to tramp in over Mt Bruce.
The night was spent at the rustic West Harper hut; complete with dirt floor, fertiliser sack bunks and beech tree pole construction!
When the rain began to fall hard on Sunday morning, we decided to return up and over Lagoon Saddle and retreat to town. Great views of the incoming storm were had on the north flanks of Mt Bruce.
