| Sun 10th May Mountain House Loop Easy-Medium Kirstie Priddle 027 779 0738 A delightful and varied trip. From Holdsworth carpark we take the Gentle Annie track up to Mountain House shelter and look for the old Mountain House site. We make it a loopy trip by going down the ridge track to the Atiwhakatu Track and follow the stream back out. |
| Sun 17th May A-frame and Stanfield Huts Medium Anne Lawrence 027 450 4212 We leave cars at Tamaki West Road end. The track climbs steeply up to A-frame Hut. We then follow Takapari Road until the turn-off to Stanfield Hut. This track climbs steeply (usually with a bit of slip and sliding) down to Stanfield. From there it's a short walk down the river and up to Holmes Ridge track which we follow back to the carpark. Expect mud, wet feet and a fairly strenuous day. Depart Milverton Park 7.30am. |
