Description
A 4 day tramp in the Lewis Pass area over the New Years holiday period. We will drive down to Boyle Lodge in the evening on New Year's Eve, and start tramping on New Year's Day. Tents will be required.
Day 1: Start from Palmer Lodge (likely shuttle there from Boyle Lodge). Take the Sylvia Tops access track, then traverse the Sylvia Tops (untracked route) to Devils Den Biv (may need to find somewhere in the surrounding area to camp depending on the size of the group). 1000m climb, could be a long day. Option to take the Nina Valley track instead if the weather isn't suitable.
Day 2: Down to Doubtful Hut, along the Doubtful River to the west, then turn off and follow the route to Lake Man Biv.
Day 3: Over the Doubtful Range and down to the Hope River to either St Jacob's Hut or Hope Halfway Hut.
Day 4: Hope Kiwi Track to Windy Point. Cross over to the main road here or at Engineers Camp and hitch back to Boyle Lodge, or continue along the Tui Track back to the lodge.
