Description

 

The Kenepuru Road will be open to public access from Friday 11th March to Monday 21st March when more road works will commence.

The plan is to drive to Kenepuru Camping ground on the Sat afternoon (19th) perhaps with a swim on the way ? Share a BBQ meall at the DOC camp with a glass of soemthing? Overnight in your tent. Head off by say 9 am to climb Mt Stokes (1203m & highest point in the Sounds : 4-5 hours return)  Enjoy expansive views over the Sounds  while having lunch at the top. Return to cars and Nelson, perhaps with a coffee in Havelock or Rai Valley on the way back? 

An easy walk but because of the distance, let's try to make ot into a fun overnighter before we run out of good weather and daylight.....................Children welcome.

IF THE WEATHER LOOKS BAD ON THE SUNDAY (PRESENT OUTLOOK), THEN LEAVING LATE FRIDAY AND WALKING SAT WOULD BE AN OPTION.

It is a two and half hour drive from Nelson to Kenepurur Camping Ground.(Just under 150 km)  Hence the idea of not doing it in one day!
