Yesterday I took the bus from Oamaru to Mt Cook Village. Unfortunately the views on the way and upon arrival were not that great as it was raining. Luckily the forcast for it to start clearing in the evening, and then to clear completely today. So thismorning I got up went and hired some walking boots, and set off to walk the Mueller Hut Route. The walk took less time than in the description with me taking 2h40 for the climb up, and 2h15 for the return journey.
As forcast it had cleared up but not completely. Despite this there were still some great views, although the cloud surrounded Mt Cook for almost the entire day with it only clearing once I was about 5 mins from finnishing the walk.
Hopefully it will stay nice and clear tomorrow and I can find another great walk to do.
