Is anyone keen on staying in the Tararuas on Sunday?I'd love to go to Maungahuka or further north over the main Ridge and get home by Sunday. - The weather looks good so Wellington can wait.

sweet, see you at the meeting!

Hi there! The weather is pretty much undecided, so I thought of something ''valley, 1/2 standard, 1/2 off the beaten track'': Let's go to Sayer Hut (DOC page, NZ topomap and a nice description here). Here is a no car-version of the over-night tramp: Saturday: We catch the Wairarapa service (9:55 AM from Wellington Station) to Woodside, walk ...
