A successful food drop to the (Ex) Howden Hut on Tuesday 22nd February was accomplished in rather wet conditions. Grateful thanks to Lionel and Lynley Wason : Bill Verrell: Dave Fortune: and Jim Fortune. The food we take through is very well received by the trampers who head off down the Greenstone. Another drop is scheduled for Tuesday 15th March. lf you would be able to come along and help please contact John Donaldson. We leave about 8:45am and arrive back around 2:30 -  3:O0pm. lf you can, please join us.
