As we only have a short tramp to SAXON HUT today, Wendy, Shannon, Tom and I went off the Heathy track, and followed a track up to the top of Mt Perry at 1238m.
Tom wrote on his Facebook:
"Day 2 on the Heaphy Track. After climbing 5400 feet on day 1, we left the jungle behind. We had a shorter day so some of us started out by climbing a side trail up to the top of Mount Perry for some great views. Then we hiked 9 miles through beech trees and tussocks called Gouland Downs."
I think Tom exaggerated when he quotes 5,400ft, I believe it was around 785m = 2,870ft. I hope he doesn't show the same imagination with his vet bills.
