3122 Leitch's Clearing

Where is Leitch’s Clearing?: https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/waikato/places/whareorino-conservation-area/things-to-do/leitchs-track/

Option A:

I am going to take a group that wants to do track clearing with me on the Friday and stay at Leitch’s hut for 2 nights.  On Saturday we are going to head to Waikawau track and do track clearing, then come out Sunday.

I will be in contact with participants prior to organise what equipment we will need.

Accommodation: standard hut tickets.

Transport: tba

Option B:

This trip is designed to encourage and assist any WTC members wanting to stay their first night in the bush, even if they don’t already have the necessary equipment.  We will meet beforehand to learn/discuss what is required for a safe, comfortable overnight trip to a DOC hut or campsite.

The ‘Prep’ learning will give you a list of what you will require, and enough prep time, for you to either obtain the items yourself or (via the leader) ask other WTC members if they have the right items/size for you to use/borrow … and check they are right for you beforehand.

The trip:  Meet 8am Saturday, travel there, west of Pio Pio, for the 8 km/3 hour walk in – it’s an easy tramping track along an old former road.  Enjoy a relaxed afternoon/night in the hut, then a ‘no hurry’ packing up before our walk out the next morning.

If you are interested and/or have questions, please get in touch.
