Description  

Sunday - Monday. Part of the NZ Cycleway project, the Old Ghost Road has recently been cleared as far as the new hut on the saddle. Access: Walk up from DOC’s Lyell camp-ground adjacent SH6 on the Buller Gorge. It’s over 17km up to the hut on an excellent track at an easy gradient. This route was once a dray road as far as Eight Mile Creek, then a pack track onward to the saddle. Altitude: 865m. Capacity: 10. Facilities: Water supply, toilet, enclosed wood burner. Time: 4 hours. Note: While not open to the public, the Lyell Backcountry Trust has graciously allowed our club to visit
