Fox Glacier to Haast then next day over the pass to Wanaka

Just talked to Geoff. He and Mike are in Haast. All I heard with the bad reception was “I’m so sick of the rain” Riding the Haast past next. 80 kms of up hill. Oh my goodness!! Next day- He said the Haast pass wasn’t too bad. Really hot coming down into Wanaka.
