Description

 

WOODED PEAK : An angular 1111m knob in Nelson' big backyard. You can see 'Woody' from the airport.

Deets: From the Sanctuary, climb up to Four Corners. Look for the olde NTC signpost. Stroll along the olde Dun Mtn tramline to rest at Third House Shelter (NTC president Laurie Gibbs built the chimney.)

Further along the Dun line we emerge from the bush at Coad's Creek, the traditional rest stop where parties once lit a fire and boiled the billy. Shortly after we reach Windy Point, and make a sharp left-hand-turn up Well Ridge - a track created by NTC as an easier way to summit 'Woody' .

On the return journey, we may visit Junction Saddle, or even climb The Fringe, depending on energy & ethusiasm levels.

  • Time: Meet at the Cathedral Steps at 9am sharp. (Top end of Trafalgar Street)
  • Tramping Time: Allow 7-8 hours.
  • Grade: Medium fitness
  • Route Descriptionhttps://nelsontrails.co.nz/wooded-peak-track/
  • Gear: Sturdy shoes, rain jacket, lunch and ample hydration, your personal first aid kit, etc.
    The leader will carry a PLB, camera and map.
