Description  Note: We have postponed the trip for one week due to the weather.   The travel to the Nina Valley bridge/ Palmers Lodge is now scheduled for Saturday the 31st Jan and coming back on Sunday 1st Feb. From the Palmers Lodge parking area we would start the 3hr walk up the Nina Valley/River to the hut.The next track section, in parts steep, continues through beech forest towards the Devilskin Saddle. We will stop short of the saddle at the bushline and camp at the old hut site. No idea how many camp/tent spots there are and I could not find any info about it.The next morning we would continue to the saddle and turn east walking up through scree and scrub/tussock to PT1625. Traversing the Tops offers promising views and looks reasonably straightforward in good conditions.The steep descent at the end of the ridge leads us back to the Nina River for the crossing and a soaking for our overheated feet.
