Helpfulness
Favorite thing: From Thames, this is a 14km slow drive along a windy and sometimes skinny road, followed by a 3 hour uphill trek, which for me took 4 hours as I am not very fit. We were overnighting at the Hut, so had packs with gear on our backs.
After settling in at the hut, you can then walk on either that same day or next morning, to hike up to the summit of The Pinnacles. This is made easy by leaving your packs at the Hut and just wearing coats on this climb. The weather can turn quickly and the wind can be cold up there, so I do advise taking jackets.
Fondest memory: This further trek, from the Hut to the Summit, takes around an hour one way. We spent some time on the lookout platform, which makes the stay much easier given that you are not hanging on to the side of a rock! I phoned a few friends while up there, at last we had cellphone reception, haha.
