Travelling between Lucretia biv and Nina Hut, you can :
1. cross the Lucretia Stream, follow the old Nina hut tk to Duchess stream, cross the Nina Rivr and follow the tk to the hut
2. walk down the Lucretia Track to the swingbridge, cross the Nina and come back up the track to Nina Hut
3. cross the Nina near the Lucretia Stream and walk up the Nina track to the hut
This is option 3 - where the Lucretia Tk drops to the Nina River and sharply turns left, follow the tk a short distance until it meets the river. Drop to the shingle and cross the Nina and climb up to the Nina track (which at this point should be within 20m of to the bank). Turn right and head up the track to the Hut. Easy crossing in low-normal flows.
