Tracks, routes, and huts

I'm trying to fill in some gaps around the history of some of Waiopehu Ridge sites and wonder if anyone knows where I might find out some detail. Waiopehu Huts 1, 2, and 3 I have ...

Thanks for the support, I have now closed the survey to begin the analysis of all collected data. The comment regarding using results as justification for removing huts is a valid concern and one that im ...

Hi there, Just researching looking at doing the above from Waipakihi Hut to Junction tops, Thunderbolt and down to the Waipakihi river. has anyone done this track recently and could tell me any information of track ...

There's Cookies Point down the valley too and then Cookshop Hut in Taylor Stream, only 7km away and Cookies Basins on the way to Black Hill. We went this way from Cookies Hut to the ...

They’re listed in the Horace walker hut logbook, a short walk from the west coast.

The formed 4WD track differentiates from the paper road from Lake Letitia i.e. from there on you can't use the 4WD track without Mt White's permission. The wee area around L. Grace is owned by ...

Oh bollocks. DoC have been using it as their private holiday area. You can go up the river 4km downstream from Blue Mountain farm as the riverbed abuts against the paper road here, just 500m ...

My brother and his mate did a 3 day trip up the Otehake and down the Edwards when they were 13 or 14 years old by themselves. Laurie had done the same trip with our ...

Can shorten the last day, but that's an easy part of the trip. If going anti-clockwise, then you're going up from lakeside to Luxmore Hut with a full pack. Second day is continuous uphill slopes ...

There must be parts of some valleys/side valleys that no one has set foot in, but I think there would be fewer than people think. People like Stan and Tara Mulvaney, Henriette Beikirch, Danilo Hegg, ...

I second the caution about the weather. I've never done the Paparoa and yes the west coast gets a lot of rain but like the previous post says, all of NZ gets rain at unpredictable ...

The greenstone/caples is a lovely 4 day walk for kids. The days are not too long, the track and huts are in great condition and have wardens in the summer. I have done this walk ...

Thanks Ian H and Moh Oz......much appreciated.

I went up there a few weeks ago in the 4wd but still in 2wd and it started to bog in that ford. Interesting but no drama. Went to the top came back and wondered ...

Our tramping club has twice planned a trip to Shutes Hut. First time was a long up then a long down and then they couldn't cross the stream at the bottom, at the other side ...

Hi, thanks for your appreciation Bozeman. We created that track from deer trails over many years and finished it recently. Liz Wrightwick and Peter Umbers marked out the final segment to above the gorge which ...

full of great snorers...

I think the intention is that you will be able to drive to the Interpretation Center down at river level in the Pike and start/finish part of the Paparoa track from there or day trip ...

Kaitoke road end isnt too bad Hitch up sh2 to the Pakuratihi river and walk up Marchent road to the ymca camp. Everything else is a long way up back roads

That’s helpful, thank you!

Is there a new shelter at the end of the road near the Humboldt Falls track? I was there in the dark in an all night thunderstorm in late April last year, couldn't see a ...

Hopefully before Summer. I am wanting to take my son for a SI Great Walk, and that's one of my shortlist.
