DOC WARNING SIGNS WELCOMED
When tramping with my family late last year on Robert Ridge (Nelson Lakes National Park), the signs warning of the dangers of exposed ridge travel forced us to stop and ask: were the conditions okay to proceed? Did we have the gear we needed? Could we last the distance?
Our walk to Angelus Hut was straightforward: it was a calm, clear day with stunning views. The next day, however, the weather closed in Driving rain and low visibility ruled out a return along the ridge.
