Spend another night at French hut, then return home. &nbsp;A weekend trip with Steve and Zoey<\/p>\n<p>From recollection it was a long drive up to &nbsp;Wanaka with Steve. Got to the backpackers quite late and were up early in the morning to go pick up Zoey who was living in Wanaka at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Hiked to Aspiring hut, it was very&nbsp;warm. Couple hundred meters past the hut Simon came over all funny, sweating profusely, feeling light headed, &nbsp;couldn&#8217;t keep up with even me. Something wasn&#8217;t right. &nbsp;We put it down to dehydration and possibly heatstroke. Made a call to return to Aspiring hut and let Zoey and Steve carry on to French Hut. Simon and I hung out at Aspiring hut &nbsp;for 2 nights, then hiked out and met up with Steve and Zoey back at the car park.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" src=\"https:\/\/marvmis.simid.cloud\/wp-content\/gallery\/20130308-aspiring-hut\/SAM_1291.JPG\" alt=\"SAM_1291\"><\/p>\n<h3>Recollections from the trip<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Aspiring hut is pretty big and has stunning views<\/li>\n<li>huge groups of school kids coming through<\/li>\n<li>hut warden<\/li>\n<li>Simon lost his beloved hat<\/li>\n<li>old dude who walked to the hut just to chat up the warden<\/li>\n<li>bumblebees at the car park<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First signs of something wrong in Mt Aspiring National park<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5651,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-5596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local","tag-aspiring-national-park"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marvmis.simid.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marvmis.simid.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marvmis.simid.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marvmis.simid.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marvmis.simid.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5596"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/marvmis.simid.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5596\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5652,"href":"https:\/\/marvmis.simid.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5596\/revisions\/5652"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marvmis.simid.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marvmis.simid.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marvmis.simid.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marvmis.simid.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
