We are heading over to Queenstown to do the Fernhill Loop.
This is a combined walker/bike track so care needs to be taken to be on the right track but other than that a straightforward hill climb for an hour and a half through pine and beech.
We pop out onto the top and a few minutes to the knoll takes us to a thoughtfully provided picnic table with views up to Bowen Saddle and Ben Lomond one way and out over Lake Wakitipu the other.
The other half of the loop is predominantly downhill through more trees to return to the cars.

Meeting point
Google now charges to include a map, and their instructions on getting a free API_KEY are too gobbledegooglish for me to bother. The normal meeting place is the lake front near the showgrounds, Lat:-44.6990, Lng:169.1257.
