April 8th - 10th 2012
Thanks to a cousins 21st over Easter weekend Dad, Alice and I were lucky enough to fit in a three day tramp in Kahurangi National Park. Absolutely stunning, summer like weather led to our departure on Sunday leaving us very excited about the pending adventure. We set off late morning after bidding Mackenzie farewell for her trip to Australia and were up in the Cobb valley by 1pm. A very gentle 4WD track led us to Sylvester Hut in an easy 1.5hours. Along the way we were a little put off after trampers coming in the other direction who told us they had counted 27 other trampers heading into the area that day! Luckily for us the last people we saw were at Iron Lake and following that no one was seen until the final car park. Following on from Sylvester Hut we made our way around to Lake Sylvester and up to Iron Lake, aiming to camp the night at Lake Lillie.
