Ikawatea Forks is a remote hut! Its sits at the forks of Ikawatea stream and Apias Creek in the northern Ruahines. Its Whio territory.
Sleeps: Six
Heating: Open fire
Camping: Not much, the clearing was blasted from the bush
A very nice hut, like the way the deer cullers left it!
A cut track down from No Mans is quite good, contact DOC and they will get you permission.
Or a trap line from Ruahine Corner Hut is o.k.
Got a trip report on my website. www.freewebs.com/hellmission/
Yeah the VUWTC gets in there a bit. Good to see some other trampers using it too. Did you see many Blue Duck down there? The track from No Mans was quite overgrown in 2000. The trap line up to the plateau has been a consistently dinky route however.
na DOC have cut track down to Ikawetea :)
