Day 37: Huppatz Hut to Smith Hill Camp Site 29.46km

Not much to say about today really. Except Huppatz Hut is a tin hut and it got cold. At one stage during the night my arm touched the wall and I woke up and the arm was near frozen. Suffice to say the morning was frosty. I even saw some poo on the ground with frost on it.

The walk was pleasant enough through the farmlands and you can see when a property owner changes and doesn't want us pesky walkers to walk the fence as the trail just takes a detour up the hill jumps a fence then you walk a lumpy trail whilst looking down the valley at a lovely level walk.

I eventually came to Tothill Gap and to be fair at this point I was more on the western side and didn't completely pass to the eastern side. Hower 2 or 3 kilometres further on you climb up and over the range to the eastern side at Niblett Gap. Then is a 5 kilometre walk down a gravel road where you then climb up and over the range to the western side at Webb Gap.

Then its 8-10 kilometres of road and paddock before climbing the range to go east again at Smith gap where I stopped for the night in the tent. It was positively balmy weather that night as I was on top of the range and I reckon it didn't drop below 3 or 4 degrees.
