3217 - South Island Trip - Mt Titiroa

PLEASE REGISTER BY 30 NOVEMBER 25

Summary

This trip will start and finish from Te Anau. We travel to Manapouri and walk to Hope Arm Hut before climbing Mt Titiroa (1715m). There will be quite a bit of ascending with this trip. This trip will be a mixture of Hut and camping (with no facilities).

Departure / Return

We depart from Te Anau and return here after the trip. People must arrive in Te Anau on the 14 January 26 AND, be ready to depart early next morning. Each person is to make their own arrangements in getting to Te Anau. Te Anau is easy to get to by flying into Queenstown and getting the Tracknet Shuttle to Te Anau.

Accommodation / Transport to Track

This will be sorted closer to the time.

Proposed Trip Itinerary

The itinerary will be finalized closer to the trip and will need to be flexible with the weather at the time.

The idea is to get to Hope Arm Hut or Garnock Burn on the first day. From Garnock Burn the rest of the

trip is mainly ascending up to Mt Titiroa when the plan to camp at a tarn below Mt Titiroa. Next day we will ascend to Mt Titiroa and if time permits, we could spend the day exploring the area – there are a number of tarns we can check-out. Then the next day we will head back to Hope Arm Hut and catch the ferry out the next day. Note: This trip will be weather depended on what we end up doing.

Trip Costs

Will advise if any.

A more detailed trip programme will be sent to those that register.
