Would anybody like to join me on the Southern Crossing in the Tararuas?< strong> 17th to 21st March. My plan is to start in Otaki o n Monday 17th, good forecast provided. It requires good fitness an d navigation, 3 days minimum, but i'd allow 5 days. Then hitch back to Well ington from Kaitoke and ferry or fly back to Nelson. If enough people, we c ould hire a transfer.
Contact me asap if you are interested. I ll be in New Plymouth before, from 13-16th, and partly out of range. 021 2520877.
