Trip 1340 JUN 21-22, MATARIKI WEEKEND – Crosbies Hut overnighter. /Grade B

Leaders Ian and Anna

Bookings start 20 May to June 16

This tramp is for a one night stay in the iconic, architecturally designed, backcountry, serviced Crosbies Hut located on the Coromandel Main Range. We have booked all 10 available beds for the night, which gives us plenty of room to experience the facility in relaxed surroundings in front of a warm fire. It is an ideal opportunity for anyone who wants to come out with a group to a good standard Coromandel Hut. The plan is to form two groups to travel to two different start locations and meet up and swap keys at the Hut. One group will tramp from Waioumu on the Thames Coast and up through the beautiful Waiomu Kauri Grove to the Hut and the other group will start behind Thames township and tramp up the Karaka Track with views of East Coromandel forest and the Pinnacles Peak. Both options are about a 5 hour tramp in. Next morning we will tramp down the other track option and meet up in Thames for refreshments.

First preference for places will be reserved for Club members. The hut cost is $25 per person and we will share the transport costs.
