Organiser: Sophie McKellar
**Attention car owners in particular! We need you!**
Waita-why-not have a wonderful time at Waitawaewae Hut this weekend with good company and good food (hopefully!)?
We will be meeting at 8am at the Hunter Carpark (VUW Kelburn Campus)
Please check out this link for a gear list http://new.vuwtc.org.nz/gear-list. It's really important that you have a raincoat, warm clothes, a sleeping bag, a torch (plus spare batteries!) and all the other things on the list. Please bring your own lunches for Saturday and Sunday as well as plenty of snacks. We will take cookers, pots, maps and a personal locator beacon from the club.
The price for the hut is $5 each and hut tickets can be bought from most outdoor gear shops or the DOC visitor centre. If you email me before the trip and bring $5 along I can bring one along for you.
If you're really onto it keep yourself updated on the weather with this linkhttps://www.metservice.com/mountain/tararua-forest-park - fingers crossed the weather will improve!
The walk may take us around 6 hours. There isn't much elevation gain but if we're feeling frisky when we get to the hut or in the next morning we could explore a bit of the ridge that goes up to Mt Crawford.
We'll walk back the Otaki Forks on Sunday and then probably be back at uni at around 6pm
Please don't forget to withdraw on this page as soon as possible f you can no longer make it.
