Thanks. We spent a few pleasant days there in 2017.
Where were we on this wet day in Europe?

Yes, that’s right. We were on a section of Hadrians Wall just near Greenhead while walking The Pennine Way.

Thanks Moh. Looks interesting, took some research as I haven't been there.
North America, I'm on a popular alpine trail. This small tarn has a name:

I can narrow it down to Canada. I had a pleasant encounter with a few of these guys at this spot, and elsewhere on the trail:

Waimakariri Falls Hut, I think. Had to research it, looks very remote.
Nearest I've been is lunch at Arthurs Pass during a torrential downpour
.
DOC actually says they manage it - or you mean it's unmaintained?

Correct John. DOC list it on their website as a biv/free which is very misleading, it's actually a CMC hut at $10/night (or it was when I was there last year). Sits at the head of an amazing valley above a waterfall, with lots of Keas. I approached from Waimakariri Col direction to avoid it being an up and back trip. I saw a lot of huts on that trip, this was one of my favourites
