Routeburn, Milford, Greenstone, Reese dart hut wat
Ill be heading over to do one of these tracks in late June and was wondering what the hut water situation is.
safe to drink without boil or treatment?
also the streams . safe to drink?
hut water defiantly ok to drink a lump or 2 (in june you could well have to smash it into pieces small enough to fit in your cup) Certainly no issues getting scotch on the rocks.
Streams almost certainly have giardia in them but otherwise ok Giardia is easily avoided by not collecting turbulent water and staying well above the steam bed Dont collect dirty water either.
I would drink from any of them without treatment
i've taken water from the routeburn river, no problems
