SUMMARY:Wakamarina Walkthru - POSTPONED
URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.live.nelsontrampingclub.org.nz/events/calendar/1115/wakamarina-
 walkthru-postponed?tmpl=component
DESCRIPTION:The access road off orth BankRoad was damaged during the recent flooding. S
 o I will postpone this till later (Details to Come)\nIn its place I will do
  Kill Devil Track just over the Takak Hill. It is a longer drive but simlar
  level - medium. We may get to Riordans Hut if we can.\n\nWe have walked th
 e Canvastown end of the Wakamarina several times as far as Devils Creek Hut
 . This tramp is an end to end walkthru that will require two cars and minim
 um of 8 - 10 people to make the travelling worthwhile. This an old goldmine
 rs trail and is rated  'medium' for difficulty. It is a 'well beaten' trail
  from my reading!   \nThe plan:(Shift to Sunday if better weather)\nDepart 
 Cathedral Steps.(8-8.30am?) [Times to be reviewed closer to the day]\nIt's 
 1.5 hours drive to Butchers Flat at the northern end (85km) & 2 hours t
 o Kiwi Road off Onamalutu Road off Northbank Road at the southern end (130 
 km). Hopefully these are conservatove driving times!\nIt is then 2 hours to
  Devils Creek Hut for the SOBO group; another 2.5 to 3 hours to Fosters Cle
 aring, including a climb of 800 meters; then 2 hours to the carpark.       
    In total a 6.5 to 7 hour tramp. So for SOBO, walking from 10 am at the l
 atest means finishing by 5 pm (before dark) Then the 2 hour drive back to N
 elson- arrive 7pm - hence the Sat plan rather than Sunday.\nFor the NOBO gr
 oup it is the reverse; Start walking at 10.30 am (at the latest) - 2 hrs an
 d quite a steep steady climb to Fosters Clearing and the Saddle; downhill t
 o Devils Creek Hut so hopefully 2.5 hours and another 2 hours walk out to t
 he carpark at Butchers Flat. Out by 5.30 at the latest. Back to Nelson by 7
 pm? \nBecause of the shorter daylight hours and the cool weather; the plan 
 is not to dilly-dally too much. Fosters Hut is near Fosters Clearing and th
 e saddle- time for a quick visit only. WEwill try to walk to a timetable to
  avoid a late return to Nelson.\n\n This event was imported from: https://w
