Hi again!

(Never write too long replies, they are not read...)

Here comes a more detailed plan for Friday and Saturday tramping:

Friday:

• Start early at 8:05 AM at Wellington train station and be at the tramping track at 8:53AM (Sunny Grove, Homedale, Wainuiomata) (see http://www.metlink.org.nz ) Please be there 15 min before the train leaves.
• Walk the (East) Whakanui Track into the Orongorongo Valley,
  
• Mt Matthews Track and Mt Matthews (depending on clouds, time, mood),
  
• down to the coast the Mukamuka Stream Track,
• from there to the camp site
  

Sunday:

• probably off-track to Wharepapa Hut (short cut)
  
• Papatahi Crossing and Whakanui Track
• last bus from Homedale leaves at: 10:53 PM (before midnight in Wellington)
  

Sunday:

Achim is baking a Käsekuchen, will need help to eat it up.

A good headlight will be required, who knows how late we run... Each day will be 9h+ walks,  Friday 600+800 m altitude, Saturday 900+600 m altitude. Please sort out food on Thursday!

Please let me know, if you join Stefan and me.
