Leaving car in carpark overnight-Waitawheta
Myself and my 2 boys are planning an overnight tramp up to the Waitawheta Hut which is in the Kaimai range. I am a bit hesitant at leaving the car in the carpark overnight. Carpark area looks very isolated which is good/bad for lonely unattended cars. Could arrange to be dropped of but it is quite a drive to from our house and then of course we need collecting the next day. What do others do?
I've only done day trips from the Franklin Rd car park but there has usually been a fair number of cars there with some being left overnight.
I haven't heard of a specific break in problem there so don't imagine it is any worse than anywhere else.
If I am worried about car safety in an area I ensure that there is nothing left in the car and I open the glove box and any interior consoles to show they are empty.
Thanks Dodgydave. Looking foward to this experience.
