| Sat 16th December - Sun 17th December Short Knights Easy-Medium Warren Wheeler 06 356 1998 Celebrate the longest day (almost) by camping out on the Toka tops in the western Ruahines. Up Shorts Track and along the ridge to Toka for dinner and sunset. Return via Knights Track after sunrise and breakfast. Depart Milverton Park at 2pm on Saturday. |
| Sat 16th December - Sun 17th December Kawhatau-McKinnon Hut Medium-Fit Roy Rolston 0274 767 188 A destination that is difficult to get to because of access issues, we will take on the approx 2 hour river route firstly to Kawhatau Base and up a steep ridge to McKinnon Hut to stay Saturday night returning back down same way or via Crow Hut and the river on Sunday. Ideally leave Friday arvo staying Kawhatau the night leaving full day Saturday to get to McKinnon. Some of the track is said to be somewhat overgrown so the tramp will be a bit of a look see and perhaps we could take on some basic track clearing as we go. Contact Roy a week out if possible to work out a plan. |
