p, due to the ongoing closure of Northbank and Onamalututu Roads.\nAn overn
ight trip from Marahau to Castle Rock Hut in Abel Tasman National Park.\nOn
Saturday we will head up to Castle Rock Hut via Holyoake Clearing on the I
nland Track. 15.1km, 5hr30 (DOC time). 730m climb. A steady climb with s
ome steep sections through regenerating native bush, with some nice views b
ack to the coast. Opportunity to visit the Castle Rocks lookout 20 minutes
from the hut. 8 bunk hut with plenty of space for camping.\nOn Sunday we
have an option to do a longer loop, taking the track down to Akersten Bay a
nd following the Coastal Track back to Marahau. I expect this will take a
good 8 hours. An alternative is to return the way we came, or even have a
group doing each depending on numbers and group make-up. \n Another alterna
tive, if we have sufficient numbers and a second leader, is to do a crossov
er through trip to Canaan Downs, with one group starting at Marahau and the
other at Canaan Downs carpark, meeting in the middle at Castle Rock Hut fo
r the night and doing a key swap. Let me know if you would be interested i
