Full week 16th - 22nd May 2021
Starting on Sunday 16 May, this trip will cover a total of 7 days, with the focus on the Tararua Ranges. In the event of bad weather in the Tararuas, side trips may be done to other mountain areas in the Wairarapa, including the Haurangi and Remutaka Ranges.
Flexibility will be the key, and planning will be dominated by the weather (of which the Tararuas are renown). Given lengthy spells of fine weather, travel on the “tops” will be the main attraction and there are endless possibilities in the way of “crossings” interspersed with bush travel. There may also be day trips, using Masterton as a base. It all depends on who is in the group.
Departure: Masterton on the morning of Sunday 16 May. The Trip ends on Saturday 22 May to allow for return travel to Hamilton over the weekend.
Important: As it will be almost winter, you will need to be prepared for colder conditions. The aim is to stay in huts rather than camping (the Tararuas have one of the best concentrations of huts in our mountains).
