DoC Track time for t his is 7hrs, Waimea TC did it in 6.5hrs with overnight packs a while back. We will need to leave earlish to make use of the available daylight as it i s a longish drive to the South side.
Update 20.5.24
Kath will l ead the group going South to North as it starts at about 500m altitude. Dav id will lead in the other direction with consequently more climbing. We lea ve Cathedral steps at 7.30am.
Update 23.5.24
Kath no long er coming due to illness. Mike Drake will lead the second party. Both parti es are similar speed. Currently we have 9 registrants so 2 cars are close t o capacity. New registrants please be mindful that I may have to say you do an out and back tramp from the Canvastown side, meeting the crossover part y as they head north. Or if there are enough for 2 extra cars then you can still do a crossover. Register anyway and I'll sort it out! Happy days and more the merrier!
