Monday's Walk 27th February 2023

Destination: Old Woman Hut

Description: An upland ramble along a good 4WD track from the Nevis Road and Duffers Saddle to the Old Woman Hut at the northern end of the Old Woman Range. Panoramic views over the Nevis Valley, Bannockburn, and all the main Central Otago ranges. 5.5 km each way with a 250 m height gain.

Walk leader: Martin Unwin

Monday's Walk 20th February 2023

Bush Creek Walkway, Arrowtown

A return walk from the Chinese village in Arrowtown to the saddle at the head of Bush Creek and great views over Speargrass Flat and Lake Hayes. 5.5 km each way with a 400 m height gain. The track was upgraded to good MTB standard a year or so ago so is much easier walking than it used to be, with a good surface and all stream crossings bridged. If the nor'wester gets unpleasantly strong a tussock clearing 1 km before the saddle makes a good alternative turnaround point.

The walk climbs up Tobins Track to Glencoe Road, and from there to Brackens Saddle for lunch. We loop back past Glencoe Station to join Tobins Track to the cars.

Monday 16th January 2023

Meet Brian and Marjon at 9:30 for a trip up the Timaru River to Junction Hut for lunch. We drive to the car park by the Peter Muir bridge. The walk involves crossing the river a dozen times, which should be refreshingly cool. We plan to return the same way, but more energetic people can opt to return via the high route.
