Tracks, routes, and huts

I reckon it would be possible as there are no restrictions on camping along the trail except in Northland I think. Others will be better informed than I am. You can check the official Te ...

My understanding is that groups of hunters are only allowed to stay at the hut for 3 days in a row and must otherwise camp when others are there and want the bunks. Because of ...

When I did it we went from east to west which I think is great because walking down next to the beach is a beautiful way to finish the trip. What I would not recommend is ...

@James the Giant: thanks, I'll pass that on to longtack in case he hasn't seen this post.

Nice one - sounds like a great trip. Carrington hut is nice and big - its a great place for many people to turn up and then go their own ways from there. ha ha ...

ive done a full circle on a ridge traverse on a saddle before... in bad weather the formed track disappears at south crater. if you pick up other queues there was a warn track heading ...

The 2 saddles are barely alpine passes and are pretty easy to manage.In fact they are both still in the tree line at the top of each one.Ada Pass had a wee sign on it ...

Yeah I've done the Abel Tasman Inland Track teamed with the Coastal Track, and it's certainly a super walk out of season, when the coastal track can be reasonably quiet particularly the top half. I'd agree ...

I’d like to do the section from Whangarei heads north to Russell one day. Have done plenty of overnight trips in the middle part here.

Going back for another go this weekend. I have been told very recently that most of the wreckage was recovered around 20 years ago. Apparently this can be found in reliable published material.

Was wondering what had happened to you, saw your entry in Maropea Forks a day before us. Our route from there was Otukota, MP range, Crow, McKinnon, Waterfall... Shame you missed the track, it had ...

I've been and done it. Due to 200mls of rain two days before it was very muddy in parts, and the sphagnum moss bogs were hazards to avoid. Elevation went from 310 to 700, and ...

Just a quick note for non locals to let you know that there has been quite a lot of damage to tracks from the recent floods. This is widespread and mainly involves washouts and slipping. ...

I've just been informed by a mate who was up the Styx yesterday that the river has changed course in a couple of places damaging the track route. Access is now somewhat problematic and to ...

Quite possibly! Parts of the bush adjacent Hauroko used to be quite good going and other places you used to strike away from the shore and use ridges. If I still lived down there I'd ...

as of dec 18 the track is clear and followable from the hut to the hot pools. The hut is still the same but clean, weather tight and repainted. See remotehuts.co.nz or facebook for details.

Awesome. Thanks so much. Seems like the ex NZFS guys are doing a great job1

Can anyone give me info or website links to about this hut as I know very little about it. Much appreciated if you could help. Andrew

Made it this weekend. Fricken nightmare. Getting to Punga was easy - ironically the most well-marked part of the track - with DOC orange triangles!?!?!? (compared to the route to the official DOC hut not ...

Hello, I'm also new here from Uk. Happy to join this group. We have a Downsvale Nursing Home in Surrey, Dorking for Elders and Dementia Patients. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Respite C...

Thanks @bernieq. A very small selection of photos now uploaded.

Coming back yesterday from my trip to Mt.Aspiring NP and as usual I want to thanks everybody for their suggestions and help. I had a great time and doing the debriefing today really make think a ...

As fate would have it, I walked the Leslie Karamea earlier this week (from Salisbury hut down). Track is pretty easy and in excellent condition except between Karamea bend and Crow hut. This section is ...

yes its certainly possible: https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/bay-of-plenty/places/kaimai-mamaku-conservation-park/things-to-do/tracks/tuahu-track/

Cool. Thanks for going the extra mile @glennj. Very happy to hear the hut is still there.
