anyone heard anything of mr 900huts?

I believe he had already already done the TA. I think he wanted to do it all in one go, but couldn't get a visa for long enough, so was going to do it in chunks working around his visa requirements. Like do a year of hut bagging, go out of no for 2 years, come back and do another year and so on.

after getting through most of the NI ranges, except Kaweka and Te urewera (I think), he was pretty much on schedule then his knees packed, as I recall I don't think he had too many illusions about the difficulty. he had done the TA and he handled new places like Ruahines, Tararuas, etc ok
