Sat 25 Feb - Sat 17th March Extended Trip Grade 5 very steep

Arthurs Pass New Zealand.

The plan is to do a number of through walks out of Arthurs Pass. Depending on numbers and weather conditions the walk schedule/route is flexible. Due to logistics we would all start the walks at the same time and then if a walker is only interested in 1-2 through walks then they can elect to do those and then leave the group. Proposed walks are:

Goat Pass Track - 2 days. Waimakariri-Harman pass route - 4 days. Cass-Lagoon saddles track - 3 days. Harper Pass– 5 days

Backpacker & YHA accommodation is available at Arthurs Pass as well as a small grocery shop.

Bus/train generally provides transportation to/from the trail head with a little bit of coordination. Train/buses service Arthurs Pass from Christchurch daily.

Sun 4th DW 16km Stairway Falls and West Canungra Circuit - O'Reilly's This is a really beautiful walk with both track and some off track and rock hopping. We follow the West Canungra Circuit down to the Blue Pool where we cross the creek and follow it up to the Stairway Falls. The track to Stairway Falls crosses Canungra Creek 6 times and can be slippery so walking poles may be helpful. There is a lovely pool for swimming at the falls so come prepared if you want to cool off. We return to the Blue Pool by the same track and then follow the West Canungra Circuit back out to the Border Track. There are a number of creek crossings on the West Canungra Track. Denise Mitchell
