Description
Saturday:
Take the Watson Creek Route from the Matakitaki River Valley to the bushline to camp in a beautiful spot by the river.
Sunday:
A half day walk up to the ridge at pt 1580, and along the ridge to a tarn where we will set up camp. From here we will have the afternoon to explore the tops.
Monday:
Descend to Mole Saddle, and return via either the Jameson Ridge track or the Mole Track.
This trip will require a reasonably good weather forecast. If the weather isn't suitable for camping on the tops on Sunday night we have the option to continue on to Mole Hut (4 bunks).
