Description

 

To replace the Mt Starvaell Tramp, I am planning to investigate an "old' track/route to Saddle Hill from the top of Maungatapu Saddle. It has not been maintained after major windfall damage some 10+ years ago. Originally it was well marked with its own picnic table and track sign! After many years however, the markers may be hard to find. We will take coloured tape to mark our route. It will take about two hours to walk up the old road to the saddle. We would then follow the ridgeline (as well as we can)  through beech forest across peak 1168 to Saddle Hill at 1215 m. There is a return track called the 'Zig Zag' that we may try to find for a possibly shorter return leg. Plan to leave Nelson at 8 am for 8.30 start at Maitai Dam. Return to the cars no later than 5 pm when the gates close!
