Hut bagging in the Oxford Forest, Canterbury

The plan had been to climb lots of peaks in Arthurs pass, but alas the weather was bad again. Nevermind, we headed to the Oxford forest, not far from Christchurch. 

Cairns on the ridge towards Salmon Creek Biv.

We stayed the night at Blackridge hut. It had a toasty fire and was a very cozy spot. A lot of people stayed there overnight. The next day we headed over to Salmon Creek biv and then looped back via Blackridge hut then down to Wharfdale and out to the carpark.

The gorgeous Salmon Creek Biv.
