Now the 20th Jul y.
Mt Duppa. Access to Mt Duppa has been closed for several years due to on-going Forestry Operation s. Access is now open. It is a short drive from Nelson making it easily acc essible on short winter days. This will allow a Nelson departure at 8.30 fr om the Cathedral Steps.
Mt Duppa (1143 m) is at the northern end of&n bsp; the Bryant Range, in Mt Richmond Forest Park. On a fine day it provide s spectacular views
[UPDATE: I have been shown photo s of plane wreckage from 2011 approx 1 km from the summit of Mt Duppa. If the weather suits, we could go looking for the wreckage. I have a gpx file to help. < /p>
The track to the summit is short, but steep with some interesting roc k outcrops on the way.[ Approx 2 hours]
There is car access to around 500m leaving only 600 or so to climb.
