Minchin Bivvy
Arthur's Pass National Park
Formerly poor condition biv below Minchin Pass. Located at the confluence of Minchin Stream and a stream draining Mt Koeti.
The biv is now in very good condition. The new screws, sealant, and paint should ensure it is waterproof for quite some time.
The internal ply has braced the biv considerably, and the new bench allows for cooking, with some gear storage below.
Things still to do:
Colin and I will bike in shortly to tidy a couple of things that we ran out of time to do.
Install stainless steel backplate on cooking area Attach one stay (not broken, but missing attachment bolt) Paint lining Add final vent pipe
