Cattle Ridge Overnighter

So I'm needing to lead an overnight tramp of reasonable difficulty for my Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Which I've chosen to do part of the Dundas loop - aiming to stay at Cattle Ridge hut on Saturday night, and bag Herepai & Roaring Stag along the way. This walk would lean medium due to its elevation gain (Road end is at about 320m, Cattle Ridge 1120m!)

• Road end to Herepai - 2 hours
• Herepai to Roaring Stag - 3 hours
• Roaring Stag to Cattle Ridge - 2 hours.

So a 7 hour starting day, and the descent will be 6 hours (as we do not need to go past Herepai again).

Cattle ridge only has 5 bunks, so a tent may be necessary if we get more than 5 people. But we'll need a 2nd car for more than 5.

Given it's a Duke of Edinburgh tramp, there will be NO GPS USAGE, and instead map and compass navigation (but I guess that will make it more fun :) ).
