Clutha River Loop at Luggate

The weather tomorrow is still looking dodgy, so we'll do a figure of eight loop based at the DOC carpark in Shortcut Road, Luggate.  We'll walk upstream along the bank of the Mata-Au / Clutha  then loop around and back to the carpark; then cross the road (Highway 8A), and walk downstream to Devil's Nook, up Luggate Creek and back to the cars.  That gives us options to lengthen or shorten the route depending on the weather.

Petrol $5
