NZ Trip - Dusky Tack - Looking for Companions
Posted: Wed 30 Apr, 2014 12:22 pmHey,
I'm wanting to go hiking this year in NZ, specifically the Dusky Track.
My rough itinerary is:
6/12/2014 - Fly to Queenstown
7/12/2014 - Get supplies
8/12/2014 - Travel day - to start of hike
9/12/2014 - Lake Hauroko to Halfway Hut (4 - 6 hrs)
10/12/2014 - Halfway Hut to Lake Roe Hut (3 - 5 hrs)
11/12/2014 - Lake Roe Hut to Loch Maree Hut (5 - 7 hrs)
12/12/2014 - Loch Maree Hut to Supper Cove Hut (6 - 8 hrs)
13/12/2014 - Supper Cove Hut to Supper Cove Hut (-)
14/12/2014 - Supper Cove Hut to Loch Maree Hut (6 - 8 hrs)
15/12/2014 - Loch Maree Hut to Kintail Hut (6 - 8 hrs)
16/12/2014 - Kintail Hut to Upper Spey Hut (5 - 7 hrs)
17/12/2014 - Upper Spey Hut to West Arm Hut (4 - 5 hrs)
18/12/2014 - West Arm Hut
19/12/2014 - Travel day - to Queenstown
Transport might be expensive, but it should be comparable to a hike in Tasmania for flights and buses. That is, from Brisbane. The huts are on the order of $5-20 per night. Maybe a little bit more but it should be in that order of magnitude
Some info can be found at:

I know its a long way away, but I will be booking flights in a month or so and I'm keen to have some other committed people, who are good company and enjoy hiking along with me. Please give me a shout if your interested.
