I need your help!
I have 3 days off in March and am planning on going to Nelson Lakes but am struggling to find a good route. The fact that Angelus Hut is closed is screwing me up too. I'm a serial planner and like to have thinks laid out well before I go.
I originally thought that I would do;
Day 1 water taxi to lakehead then up to Hopeless hut;
Day 2 Hopeless to Sabine hut via Sunset Saddle and Cedric
Day 3 Sabine to St Arnaud via Speargrass
I have now thinking of discouting this as I may have underestimated the length of time Sunset Saddle will take.
Other options I came up with is;
Day 1 Water taxi to D'Urville and then up to Mole hut
Day 2 Mole Hut to Sabine hut via Tiraumea and D'Urville
Day 3 Day 3 Sabine to St Arnaud via Speargrass
Day 1 St Arnaud to Sabine hut via Robert Ridge and Mt Cedric
Day 2 Day trip up Mt Misery
Day 3 Sabine to St Arnaud via Speargrass
Are these routes do-able? or are they just ridiculously long?
Cheers
Crisis averted! I managed to get an extra day off work so heaps more options are availble.
Will likely just do the Travers-Sabine.
