3096 Mountain Madness

Saturday 16th or Sunday 17th December 2023

This is a spontaneous sort of day out - if the weather packs in we will give it away.

The plan is to see how many of the Waikato mountains we can climb in one day - the longest day of the year.

Previous years we have done Pirongia, Maungatautari and Te Aroha, and found this sequence was manageable (provided you eat and drink enough to keep you going). We are back to climbing Maungatautari from the north and you can do the loop (Quad bike track and old tramping track) if you wish. If you don't wish to travel with an established team but you do want to be recognised with a certificate, please take a selfie picture on the top of each peak with the recognisable structure on each - Pirongia lookout, Maungatautari communication mast, Te Aroha transmission mast. (The date stamp on the photo file will be proof of doing it all in one day).

 

Whatever - it will be a full day!!!

Be in! - the car(s) leave Hamilton 6am. We normally do Pirongia up and back before lunch. And we get back late - that's why they call it the Longest Day.
