Destination: Old Woman Hut
An equinoctal walk taking advantage of the anticyclone still squatting over southern New Zealand, from the top of the Nevis Road near Duffers Saddle to the Old Woman Hut. A 300 m climb following a 4WD track for 6 km, mostly at lenient grades. Great views into the lower Nevis Valley from our lunch spot on the hillside behind the hut. Return the same way. The forecast is for little if any wind but with a high point of 1,450 m make sure you have adequate windproofing as we can expect cooler conditions at altitude.
