3135 Southern Hakarimata

Sunday 4th August 2024

I will take a route from Waingaro Road to the summit that the Club has not been on before. We will follow an informal track to the west of the Walkway Track, up an adjacent ridge in a big arc and joining the Walkway not far from the summit. Note that the track may have rough sections and windfalls to scramble over or around. The lookout tower at the summit gives expansive views over the Waikato and out to the west. We will have lunch at the summit before returning to Waingaro Road via the Walkway Track, which has an even surface and lots of steps. Attractive bush is a feature of the Hakarimata.
