Description

Dave at Scottish Express has once again offered the Club a chance to get a ride up to Maungatapu Saddle. That saves a steep climb of 500m. From the Saddle, we have the choice of walking south towards Dun Mountain and returning to the cars from Dew Lakes, OR those wanting a bit more adventure could continue up and over Little Twin then Dun Mountain and return via the Coopermine Trail.
The other option is another climb to Saddle Hill and back via the Zig Zag Track and Teal Saddle. So somethng for everyone. Put it in your diary now!
