North Shore Tramping Club
CANCELLED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT NUMBERS
Pukapuka Track, Hunua Ranges Sunday 30 August 8am
Advanced tramping track, good medium fitness is required!
Please have the correct change for payment on the bus
($25 members / $30 non members)
We start this trip from the Upper Mangatawhiri dam and take a steepish climb up Lilburne road and then on to the Pukapuka track following the ridgeline which will have a fair bit of undulation, tree roots, and mud, and possibly not many views to Pukapuka Pt 470 before dropping down to a campsite on ARA Drive and a possible chance to bag the Mangatangi trig, from here it another access road encounter of about 6 k back to the bus. Having never done this track before we can would expect a pretty good work out of about 6 hours and about 17-18 k.
Hint! soft running shoes for the road section and tramping boots for the tramping track should provide maximum comfort for the day.
