My general plans are as follows. I’m heading down on 21 December and will be tramping in Nelson Lakes for Christmas, coming out on 26th then hanging about/relaxing in the Marlborough Sounds for a few days before heading to Golden bay for New Years, so I'd be keen to meet up and hitch a lift with someone heading to Golden Bay from Picton on ...

I'm planning on being down in the Golden Bay/Nelson area around New Years and was looking for some suggestions of good 2 or 3 day tramps to do in the area. Anyone got any suggestions? Thinking about Mt Arthur/Tablelands - anyone done this track and know what it's like? Cheers, James
