Did Zealand, Bond, Bondcliff, and West Bond as an out-and-back from Zealand Road. All trails in excellent shape, no blowdowns, a few easily avoidable mud puddles. Crossings trivial. Wildflowers are in full bloom. Zealand Trail lined with Lady Slippers. Twinway above hut has Hobblebush flowered out, while past Zeacliff are huge swaths of Lapland Rosebay.
The ladder on the upper Twinway is missing every other rung. The Z-bridge northern end requires careful stepping due to high water flooding the approach.
Bug dope a must, black flies were out in abundance.
Long, tough day but incredibly rewarding hike on a perfect weather day.
