Organiser: Justin Atkinson
A medium 4-day extravaganza in the rugged Ruahines Ranges! We'll be heading to pretty Traverse (A-Frame) Hut to give it a clean and stay the night. We'll then explore 3 other huts via various tracks and rivers :)
Day 1:
Meet at the Hunter car park at 9am, drive to the Ruahines (2hr 30min), and walk up to A-Frame (DOC time is 2hr 30min). The clean will follow. This hut only has 3 bunks, so we'll take tents.
Day 2:
We'll walk to Stanfield Hut (3-4hr). After lunch, we'll walk a further 2hr to Cattle Creek Hut. This has 8 bunks and we'll stay the night here.
Day 3:
A river walk day to Mid Pohangina Hut (2.5hr), and then Ngamoko Hut (2-3hr), then return to Mid Pohangina (2-3hr)
Day 4:
Walk back to the car with a bit of river walking, via Stanfield Hut (3-4hr). Back in Welly by the evening, ideally 7-8pm.
