Training them young

They're a fit bunch, those Kiwis. We kept encountering runners charging up mountains that some of us were somewhat challenged to walk up. And often there were mothers (or fathers) carrying their babies up quite challenging mountain walks.

Here at Fern Burn hut, after a 500m ascent and a three hour slog, this 14 month old Kiwi finally catches up with her mother. OK, it wasn't quite like that. Mother put her down 50m before the end of the walk so she could do the final bit solo. But we were still impressed.
