Huntleigh Park, Korimako and Bell tracks E Barbara Ogilvie Because of the gorgeous autumnal weather the planned shorter trip was extended from Huntleigh Park and the Korimako track to an ascent of Bell track, then south along the Skyline track, the Electricity Rd and back down the Silversky track. Lunch on the Skyline track offered views of a Mediterranean-blue harbour made the day. The trip was enjoyed by seven TTC members. Ngaio Residents Association
Powell Hut EM Bill Wheeler The trip to Powell Hut went well with 5 members on it. Great fine, warm day with views everywhere Topo Map
Turere Spur M Dave Reynolds Today medium trip was off to a late start due to the leader having mechanical issues but Eva Durrant saved the day with a very generous ride to the catchpool. This meant the planned trip was not viable but an alternative plan was activated which was enjoyed by all 5 members of the group who had waited patiently at the catchpool. Topo Map
Kapakapanui and Ngatiawa Rd. from Akatarawa Saddle MF Joan Basher Wednesday’s Slow Fit trip was from Akatarawa Saddle to Kapakapanui to Ngatiawa Road end. The leader pulled out at the last minute after a toe crash, but the 6 remaining team members had a splendid day. They added a 15 minute side trip to Kakanui (822m) on the way up. The weather on the tops was so good that the group was able to indulge in a 25 minute stop on the summit of Kapakapanui to enjoy the glorious panorama. In total, the trip took 8h45. Topo Map
