There and back again - A day on the Routeburn track

Apr 30th. We have heard on the weather forecast that rain is due for the 1st May but that today should be fine. We decide to head off and do a days walk on one of NZs great walks - The Routeburn track. Normally the walk takes 3 days and covers 32 km. We have only one day as we aren't going to camp and do the walk so we shall see how far we get in 1 day. The incentive for us is to reach Harris Saddle (The highest point on the tramp) and if we do this we will go out for a curry later on today. We start from the East side of the trek at 9:40am - This is the Routeburn Shelter on the right hand side of the map.
