Ruahine Corner sounds pretty kinky... Won't be able to make it around that time, though, which is a real shame. (Finally I will be moving into my new flat - next weekend... yay! ...and will be in Hamilton the weekend after...Pretty stuffed.) -Have fun and don't get lost :)
Anyway, I'm looking forward to some rambling in the Tararuas, Annabel! How about Dundas Ridge from the Wairarapa side? Or a Mitre-Arete classic?
Cheers,
Nicolai
