If you for some reason have 4-5 days free to go do a spontanious bash to Ruahine Corner then come along!
The plan is to walk in to Ruahine Corner hut (2 days) then spend a day mucking around the big limestone plateu up there and search for caves + just look at cool limestone cliffs and formations.
I've managed to get confirmation that there's a least one real cave up there for us to go explore, but I'm hoping to scout for some new entrances in some interesting terrain.
This will NOT involve any ropework or serious caving, just what we can achieve on foot. You can certainly come along and just not take part in the caving stuff too if you prefer.
We will then walk out over another 2 days, making 5 days in total. But depending on how we feel we might compress that info 4 days.
Good fitness is required, as these will be long hard days on porentially pretty old tracks.
The dates are also very flexible, we will move it around to get good weather, but this trip should be sometime in the next couple of months.
This whole plateu is full of interesting limestone formations and sinkholes. Perfect for searching for caves!
In fact thanks to modern LIDAR hieght data, you can pretty much see exactly where to look!
This is very flexible, but here's the rough route:
