We cross the tops and descend to Top Wairoa Hut 820M (6 bunks). 12Km. 6 hrs.\nDay 3  Drop into the bush and follow the Wairoa River L branch down to Mid Wairoa Hut. 6 bunks. This section has slippery sidles, steep drop offs and about 8 river crossings. 8km 4hrs.\nDay 4 Walk out to cars. This section of track is not well maintained, there are steep drop offs, a couple of river crossi ngs and likely tree falls. The track finishes at the Bike park and there is a 2km road walk to the cars  5 hrs.\nThe huts are small we will need to ta ke some tents. I am hoping we can arrange friends or family to drop us off and pick up, otherwise. Track transport in Nelson could drop us at Inwoods Lookout for $60 each, cheaper if theer are 10 people.\nTrip Leader : Kath B allantine\nPhone : 027 931 5689\nEmail : This email address is being protec ted from spambots.
