I guess, I will do one or the other odd tramp from during the week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Powell Hut is on the &lt;a href="http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/tracks-and-walks/wairarapa/wairarapa/mt-holdsworth-jumbo-circuit/"&gt;Holdsworth-Jumbo-Circuit&lt;/a&gt; (which is good for a weekend or one day). Visitors welcome!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't be confused with the booking system... booking is not mandatory, but booked people have a mattress reserved (as far as I understand - and Powell hut is big and still a backcountry hut!).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Andrew will do a Tararua adventure at the 26th to ... ?! Will add a link, when I know more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
