Monday 29th January

Cardrona

We will be going to Cardrona ski field and parking at the Valley View carpark and walking up to a viewpoint over the Soho basin back towards Queenstown.
The climb will be steep but doable, although the heat may make this a harder task than usual, and the views are well worth it. Please note there is no water or shelter on this walk and pack accordingly.

There is no charge for this walk other than the normal petrol contribution but if you would rather take the Chondola please see the post below this one and feel free to join the 10am group which leaves from the same spot in town.
Note there is a $15 charge for the Chondola.

Monday 15th January

After last week's climb up towards Mt Shrimpton, this week Brian & Marjon are considering walking the Moonlight Track from Arthurs Point to Moke Lake. Depending on the number of people this involves either a long car shuffle or dividing into two parties who start from opposite ends and swap car keys in the middle - meet up in Arrowtown to swap back.

Monday 1st January 2018

Ben Lomond - Brian & Marjon are going to climb up the One Mile Creek track near Queenstown, at least to the saddle on the Ben Lomond track. If you want to join us meet at the usual place and time.
The forecast is for 24 degrees, sunshine and calm, so bring sun screen and plenty of water.

Merry Christmas to all - there is no walk this Monday.

Only informal arrangements are in place for January walks. Someone may post a proposed walk or not.
However, if you would like to walk turn up at the usual time and place with your lunch etc and you are very
likely to find others also wanting to walk.

Normal walk arrangements start again in February and walks will be posted on this site as usual.

Best wishes to all for a Happy New Year.

Monday 18th December walk plan

Kanuka Track,  Bendigo Conservation Area

This is a 10km loop track in the  bush above the vineyards of Bendigo starting from Logantown.  Enjoy fantastic views across Lake Dunstan, Kanuka landscape, rocky crags and relics of the mining years.  DOC reckon it will take about five hours.  Be prepared with plenty of water, gaiters and a pioneering spirit as we thrash through the bush.

Monday's Walk 11th December

Grandview Ridge Track - Deep Gully

Drive to the Sandy Point car park on the Wanaka  Tarras road approximately 17 km from Wanaka.  From there we will climb up in the direction of the telecommunications towers and then return via Deep Gully having refreshed ourselves with lunch at a suitable viewpoint over the Upper Clutha valley. This is definitely a circular walk!  No water or shade available on this trip. Most of the walking is on 4WD tracks - some steep sections.
