SUMMARY:Mt Robert / Pourangahau Loop
URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.live.nelsontrampingclub.org.nz/events/1501/mt-robert-pourangaha
 u-loop?tmpl=component
DESCRIPTION:This relatively easy day walk is one of the most scenic day walks within a 
 short drive of Nelson.\nA great loop track with outstanding views of the la
 ke below, virtually the entire way. \nIt's a well maintained track, though 
 steep in parts and with some lose gravel and a couple of small morraines to
  cross.\n...\n\nIt would appear I normally walk this in the opposite direct
 ion to most; up paddy's track and down pinchgut.\nThis means you get views 
 all the way as you climb up and plenty of photo-ops to catch the breath for
  the less fit.\nBut I'll decide on the direction closer to the time when I 
 know the weather and the group's abilities.\nDecision is we'll go UP Pinchg
 ut and DOWN Paddy's track since that direction is a little easier on the kn
 ees\nTravel\nOnly one car needed:\nWe will meet at Cathedral Steps @ 8\nRic
 hmond Badminton Hall @ 8.15\n\nDetails \nDistance approx: 9km\nElevation ga
 in approx 650m\n (images/uploads/profile.png)\nTimings\nIt normally takes m
 e approx 3 - 4 hours for the entire loop. DOC suggests 5 hours.\n\nGear\nWh
 atever the weather forecast, you'll want to bring both a warm and wet layer
  - Mount Robert is an Alpine environment and the weather can change quickly
