Organiser: Daniel Hunsche
Welcome to 2023's attempt at a Tararura Southern Crossing. We will be capitalising on the placement of ANZAC Day (Tuesday the 25) by calling in sick to work on the Monday, effectively giving us a 4 day weekend!
Ideally we will have two groups of eager souls to make this a reality:
Group 1:
- Drive to Otaki Forks
- (Saturday) Walk up up up to Kime Hut for the evening
- (Sunday) Walk along the tops to Alpha hut where we will congregate with group 2 for the night and swap keys
- (Monday) walk down to Cone Hut for one experience of a night
- (Tuesday) walk out to Waiohine Gorge Road end for the final escape
Group 2:
- Drive to Waohine Gorge Road end
- Do the same as group one but in reverse
This will be a byo food and rations trip. The club does have plenty of cookers and pots for people if needed, along with a bunch of other hiking related items.
Maybe we can have a shared desert at Alpha hut? If everyone chucks in $3 ill get some snacks.
Hut fees:
All huts are first in first served, so bring a sleeping mat just in case!
Cone hut is free to use (I wonder why?)
Alpha hut is $5(Blue ticket) per person
and Kime hut is also a $5 Blue ticket per person
Fuel Costs:
Fuel should cost around the 8$ mark each but we will get an accurate measurement down to the millilitre of fuel used at the end of the trip for accurate accounting.
