Monday's walk - 26th February 2018

Prospect Hill track

The forecast suggests drier conditions further east and clearing weather from late morning, so we'll explore the lower reaches of the Prospect Hill track behind Earnscleugh. From the DoC car park off the Fraser Dam Road we'll climb about 500 m on a good 4WD track to a suitable viewpoint / lunch spot with panoramic views over the Alexandra basin.

Lilico Spur
Drive to Clyde and turn off onto Springvale Rd. Travel along Springvale until Waikerkeri Valley Road. There is a DOC car park at the end of this road.
This walk is over a poled route on a farm track. The walk climbs up (approx 600 metres) until you are under Leaning Rock - an unusual view of this feature. Lilico Spur is also completely visible and if anyone is keen there is a route up this very steep spur.
The rest of us will lunch at a handily placed rock outcrop and enjoy the different views.
The track returns on the same route.

Rob Roy Glacier
It is an hours drive to Raspberry Creek and we would be better with 4 WD cars and people who are confident going through the odd ford and miles of gravel road.
It is an 1hr - 11/2hr walk up to the top glacier view, this is a tramping track so its rough in places. Depending on how long it takes up it may be a slightly early lunch but as the track is popular
we will probably push on a little up the valley for a peaceful lunch spot and good views.
