I did full W Arthurs traverse 2 years ago from Scotts Peak and then back to finish it with Eastern Arthurs in Jan this year in via Yo Yo Track and out to Farmhouse creek. I'm surprised your pack weight was only 23kg as that was my weight just for E Arthurs alone. (Although not sharing tent or cooking with anyone makes a difference I suppose) I'm of a similar vintage and found it quite a challenge and yes the body wasn't quite the same on completion (knee injury) From your weather description it sounds as if we were possibly there at similar times and I concur with dry bagging as yes our packs were sopping inside and out as were the carriers of said packs.
A note about the kidney beans. I have dehydrated canned kidney beans and these have rehydrated quite well. I like your idea for runny custard, usually do hot chocolate but that sounded like a nice change. Thank you for writing your report.
