Day 3: Retrace MVT an d continue on to McConchies Hut.

Day 4: Back to roadend via Lake Mati ri.

Note: The drop-off from the Matiri Range did involve hangi ng onto vegetation and climbing down. We will endeavour to find the 'easies t' route down. After the initial drop-off the going gets easier.

V ariation

Depending on the group makeup there maybe an option to h ave another group heading south (to do a vehicle swap). So rather than retr ace the MVT, continue along the Matiri Range to Wangapeka Saddle and Stone Hut.

Through trip was done in 2008, see trip report here.
