Hi,

I’m trying to do a fantastic couple of point-to-point trips in Whanganui NP, where we take two vans and swap keys, so we can cover a lot more ground and see more interesting things. But to do that I need a second leader, either to run a second Easy Trains Hut trip in parallel trip to mine, or to run a Medium trip to Tahupo Hut.

Both these huts are off the beautiful Waitora Valley. Trains hut is 4h in from the road-end, Tahupo Hut is a further 5h across a ridgeline that should give some great views of the valleys in this national park we don’t get into all that often.

What I want to do is have a van go to the Taumatatahi Road end, and another van go to the Rawhitiroa road end. Both parties head in towards Trains Hut, the M trip would then head up the spur and ridge to Tahupo Hut. Sunday we’d head out to each others’ vans and go home.

It’ll be a great weekend covering some good country, so give me a yell at if you want to give this one a go, either at E or M pace.

Cheers, Mike.
