3102 Kaweka - Manson Country

Long Weekend 3rd - 6th February 2024

I have offered to Lead this trip as Allan has had to pull out. This trip will be a fit trip (at a slower pace than a fitter trip). If, there is a Leader keen to do a fitter trip, please contact me. Also, if there is a Leader keen to base themselves at the Cameron Road campsite and do day trips or a couple of overnight trips, also contact me.

Friday 2^nd: Travel to Cameron Road Campsite. It is 5hrs (plus a short stop) to Cameron Road Campsite.

Saturday 3^rd:  After a short drive to The Lakes Carpark, we walk to the Kiwi Mouth Hut via Kuripapango (6 – 7hrs).

Sunday 4^th:  Today we walk to Otutu Hut via Manson Hut – In ‘Manson Country’ (6 – 8hrs)

Monday 5^th: Today we walk to Back Ridge Hut via Rocks Ahead Hut (8-9hrs)

Tuesday 06: Walk out to The Lakes Carpark via Kaweka J and Studholme Saddle Hut (7-9hrs).

One needs to be fit as there will be a lot of steep ascending and descending, and some stream crossing (hopefully low level). NOTE: Most days could well be longer days than we normally do. A lot will depend on the group dynamics and the weather.

As the Huts only have 6 or less beds, it is highly recommended that we take tents.
