Monday 18th June

Plan A we will walk to Mt Mason which is between the Kawarau Gorge and Gibbston on the left side of the highway.
It's about 1.30- 1.45hrs to the top but the first section of the track (15 mins/100metres) is rather steep - just think of it as an extreme warm up. While there are a couple of shorter steep bits the track is not like the first view. Any steep bits after the first piece are interspersed with easier gradients which are well used to.
Mt Rosa comes into view just as we turn off the track to a nice knoll for lunch. A further 10-15 min walk up the knoll will reward you with 360 degree views incl Mt. Rosa. A quiet amble back down to the carpark completes the walk.

Plan B Gibbston River walk from Peregrine Winery to the historic Kawarau Bridge.

Long Acre Track - Chain Hills

We drive over to the Lindis Valley and turn onto Goodger Road and follow a 4 WD track to the furthest DOC carpark at Pleasant Valley.
Initially the walk follows the valley floor but then climbs steeply to the high point where it intersects with the Chain Hills track distance approx 7km.
We will have lunch facing the St Bathans range and return our steps back the same way.

We should be above any inversion but temperatures could be cool so make sure to bring warm layers, possibility of afternoon tea at Tarras on our return trip.

Monday's Walk 4th June 2018

Alfern Reserve and beyond

Starting from the Queensbury car park at the northern end of the Pisa Range (500 m) we'll walk up to the Alfern Reserve and continue on to a suitable lunch rock at about the 940 m mark. If the gods are smiling on us we may well break through the inversion layer somewhere above 800 m, to be rewarded with great views towards the Lindis country and the St Bathans Range. Dress warm.
