Adventure week 17th - 24th March 2019
The plan so far is to gather in Geraldine on the 17th March.
Monday 18th we shuttle up the Rangitata River beyond Mesopotamia, then walk up to Growler Hut.
Tuesday 19th up The Growler and over Balaclava Saddle sidling around to get down into Toms Stream. From there down Toms Stream into the Macaulay River valley and across to the palatial Macaulay Hut. (Hot bath under the stars?).
Wednesday is up the Tindill Stream into the Tindill Basin and over into the Godley River North Branch. Down this river and through the little gorgy end piece will get us into the Godley river, and depending on our progress we will camp here or see if we can get to the Red Stag Hut – a very small 6 berth.
Thursday – on up the Godley to the historic Godley Hut – well worth the effort.
Friday – a day of exploring the glacier country at the head of the Godley.
Saturday – walk out to the junction of the Godley and Macaulay for pick-up at the road end. Unfortunately a long slog down this typical braided Canterbury river. Saturday night in Geraldine, travelling home on Sunday 24th.
Still some details of shuttle and hut accommodation to work out.
