Stewart Island - Stephen, Ross F & Robin 6am start at the Leviathan. Day 1 - one person sprained his ankle so Stephen carried his pack. After consideration, he and another person decided to return to Oban by boat. The rest of the trip went very well - albeit with a missing satellite phone (ask Robin about that one!!) South Coast Walk - Suzie, Tim & Ross F The was mostly a flat walk along the coast which involved crossing four viaducts. The jetboat ride was cancelled due to lack of water, however, the group were lucky enough to be brought out by helicopter - a treat enjoyed by all! Humpbridge - Stephen & others It was a bit wet at the top pf the track and col the next day, however, the views were good. One lady slipped and fractured her ankle. A helicopter came in and took her to Kew Hospital. Apart from that, it was a great trip, with about half the group being return trampers. Stewart Island - Jim Murdoch picked the group up at the end and said the trampers all talked really positively about both this trip and the other trips they had been on. Most were from Hamilton & Auckland and half had done tramping club trips previously. They were full of appreciation for the opportunities afforded to them. A2O - Peter & Sue Stewart, David & Helen Vollweiler, Jennifer Pringle - arrived home last night. Ross reported that Jennifer loved the trip. More info to come. The final trip of the season is to Mt Aspiring Lodge 7 - 11 April. |
