Waitiri track & daffodil patch - 25th august 2024

28/8/2024

0 Comments

 
13 members met at Rawhitiroa School this morning to drive in convoy to the Omoana saddle. The goal was to walk the Waitiri Track to the daffodil patch. 4 mounted their e-bikes while the rest walked. The cyclists shot off, in the capable hands of Marilyn who knew the way, or so I thought. We soon saw them in the distance, the other side of a huge gully. We didn’t see them again for an hour. Jan turned back at the 5km point, the trampers and geographically challenged bikers had lunch at the old house site, and Jan and the bikers got to the vehicles at 2 pm. The walkers took another 50 minutes. A great day out on an overcast day with just one wee shower.

EAC club trip this last Sunday was a long overdue visit to the Pouakai Range where we visited Photographic Peak and Hump Hill. Although the weather put a dampner on the spectacular views that can be had our small group of 4 had a fantastic time!

A successful tour of some lesser visited waterfalls this morning. We viewed the upper and lower Kaupokonui Falls, rediscovered the Konini Dell track, and had morning tea at Victoria Falls. We returned along the ridge track in lovely weather. Thanks to the crew for maintaining good humour on the gnarly bits.
