SUMMARY:Saddle Hill made Easy
URL;VALUE=URI:https://live.nelsontrampingclub.org.nz/events/1548/saddle-hill-made-easy?tm
 pl=component
DESCRIPTION:CLOSED to further registrations.\nSaddle Hill (1217m) sits above the Maitai
  Dam and provides expansive and all-round views. (Hence the radio masts as 
 well!)\nIt's nearby 'sister" or 'first double' is 1168 m with about 2 km (a
 nd a low saddle) between them. From the carpark near the Caretaker's House 
 at the dam it is just over a 900m climb to the First Double, then down and 
 up again to the Second Double or Saddle Hill. So it is a good workout but t
 he views make it worthwhile.\nNTC has been doing maintenance work on the tr
 ack from Teal Saddle including replacing missing track markers! The other t
 rack from Maungatapu Saddle is no longer maintained by DOC either, so the C
 lub plans to replace any missing track markers on that track as well.\nOn S
 unday 12th October, the Club has arranged a 4WD Shuttle (Scottish Express) 
 to take trampers and track volunteers up to Maungatapu Saddle for an easier
  walk-in to both peaks. That will take approx 500 m off the climb and save 
 a couple of hours of climbing. It will still leave a good workout across th
 e top, and the 1000m descent back to the Carpark. It will also  give more t
 ime for the Club to replace any missing markers.\nWe need a few volunteers 
 for the maintenace work, but the event is open to all interested trampers.[
 $12 including the Shuttle). A small 'team' will be needed to walk up the Zi
 g Zag Track towards the First Double to check those track-markers. (I will 
 be one of those!)\n This event was imported from: https://live.nelsontrampi
