DESCRIPTION:(522 4458 is the preferred contact number)Easter WeekendDay 1: Matiri Valle
 y road end to Larrikin Creek Hut.\nDay 2: Climb The Haystack from the saddl
 e with The Needle, then onto the Matiri Range. Travel north following the M
 atiri Range, at some point find a suitable drop-off point to gain the Matir
 i Valley Track (MVT). Follow the MVT to Hurricane Hut.\nDay 3: Retrace MVT 
 and continue on to McConchies Hut.\nDay 4: Back to roadend via Lake Matiri.
 \nNote: The drop-off from the Matiri Range did involve hanging onto vegetat
 ion and climbing down. We will endeavour to find the 'easiest' route down. 
 After the initial drop-off the going gets easier.\nVariation\nDepending on 
 the group makeup there maybe an option to have another group heading south 
 (to do a vehicle swap). So rather than retrace the MVT, continue along the 
 Matiri Range to Wangapeka Saddle and Stone Hut.\nThrough trip was done in 2
 008, see trip report here (index.php/trip-reports/9-trip-reports/244).\nTen
