This tramp is an end to end walkthru that will require t wo cars and 8 -10 people to make the travelling worthwhile. This an old gol dminers trail and is rated  'medium' for difficulty. It is a 'well beaten' trail from my reading!    The plan:\nDepart Cathedral Steps at 8am. It's 1. 5 hours drive to Butchers Flat at the northern end (85km) & 2 hours to Kiwi Road off Onamalutu Road off Northbank Road at the southern end (130 km ). Hopefully these are conservatove driving toimes!\nIt is then 2 hours to Devils Creek Hut for the SOBO group; another 2.5 to 3 hours to Fosters Clea ring, including a climb of 800 meters; then 2 hours to the carpark.          In total a 6.5 to 7 hour tramp. So for SOBO, walking from 10 am at the la test means finishing by 5 pm (before dark) Then the 2 hour drive back to Ne lson- arrive 7pm - hence the Sat plan rather than Sunday.\nFor the NOBO gro up it is the reverse; Start walking at 10.30 am (at the latest) - 2 hrs and quite a steep steady climb to Fosters Clearing and the Saddle; downhill to Devils Creek Hut so hopefully 2.5 hours and another 2 hours walk out to th e carpark at Butchers Flat. Out by 5.30 at the latest.Back to Nelson by 7pm .\nBecause of the short daylight hours and the cool weather; the plan is no t to dilly-dally too much. Fosters Hut is near Fosters Clearing and the sad dle- time for a quick visit only.\n \n This event was imported from: https: //live.nelsontrampingclub.org.nz/events/1109/wakamarina-walkthru-postponed? tmpl=component X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
