3113 Exploring Lake Tennyson Area

Fri 22 March – Drive from St Arnaud (I am already here for my Red Hills Trip) to Lake Tennyson via Lewis Pass and Hanmer Springs.  Sat 23 / Sun 24 – Overnight trip to Princess Bath (a small alpine lake). Need to camp. Mon 25 – An easy day either relaxing or short walks.  Tue 26 / Wed 27 – Overnight trip to Lake Guyon. There is a Hut here or can tent.  Thu 28 – Easy day or short walks.  Fri 29 / Sat 30 – Overnight trip to Severn Hut.  Sun 31 March – End of trip. I need to travel to Picton to catch the early evening ferry to Wellington.

BASE: Will look at using Lake Tennyson as a Base, which is camping only. There are toilets there. Hanmer Springs is close by and can use as buying food and visiting the hot pools when time permits and, as a back-up for accommodation if the weather is not suitable for staying at Lake Tennyson.

WEATHER: Obviously like all trips, the weather will depend on what we end up doing. There are plenty of short walks around Hanmer Springs to do as a back-up.

Those wishing to join trip at Lake Tennyson, can arrive and meet me at Hanmer Springs.

Further details will be sent to those registering for this trip.
