Weekend 6th to 7th March 2021
Depart Hamilton Sat 6thMarch at 7am and drive to Ruatiti Road end; approx. a 4hr to 4hr 30 drive. Then, walk along part of the Mangapurua Track to a campsite at Mangapurua Trig. DOC says this takes 5hrs but we should take a bit less. The track is a good one – a 4WD farm track a lot of the way and track also used by mountain bikers.
Sunday 7th; will aim to leave by 8am and walk out to Whakahoro via the Kaiwhakauka Track, another 5hrs (or a little less). The last 1hr is along a good farm road. If, the weather is not good for camping, I will explore some options closer to the time. At Whakahoro, there is ample camping space, shelters for cooking, toilets and, an old 10-bed classroom that could be used.
