Poulter Bivvy
Arthur's Pass National Park
A new 2 bunk D.O.C. bivvy located in the headwaters of the Poulter River. It has two sleeping platforms with mattresses arranged in an L-Shape and a small cooking bench. It’s a well insulated little bivvy and has standing room, unlike many of the older style bivs. From the door, there are expansive views down valley. There’s also a shiny new loo.

Getting there
|
From Poulter Hut, cross Minchin stream and the Poulter River respectively and travel upstream along the riverflats. From Worsley Biv, the river narrows and eventually heads into a gorge. If the river is up, there's a bypass route on the true left, starting opp. Enchanted Stream. The gorge eventually opens up 2km down from the biv which is first seen in this valley after a large shingle fan on the true right. There are more challenging routes from Koropuku & Townsend Huts and Rover Saddle. |
