Pre tramp - Maungatapu 2012

Saturday 13th October 2012 sees the inbounds for our district undertake a training tramp in the Nelson area.

The format is the same as 2009/10 & 11 - walk up from the Maitai Dam, past Rush Pool and on to Dew Lake, and back down again. Sounds simple! We start at an elevation of 130 metres and end at 940 metres some 7 km's later. Vertically, it is a higher climb (in the number of metres - 810) which is more than the 550m of the McKinnon on the way up, but less than the 990 on the way down. I think it is approx 7 km's each way, so it is a good workout for Milford.

It is a shake down for the Milford so all equipment must be brought to Nelson for checking.

Arrive at Murray's - 120 Kawai Street, by 5 p.m., BBQ and tramp briefings. Saturday (rain or shine) we walk, dinner with Nelson West, home Sunday.

Refer to the Milford Page for the equipment list please.

200m up to 1014m & back

Wonderful views of Tasman Bay and minutes later, of Pelorus.
