Weekend 23rd 24th March 2019
This trip covers two lesser used tracks on Mount Pirongia. Both are quite different in nature. The Bell track is the longest way to get to Pahautea Hut and takes about 7 hours. Starting at Kaniwhaniwha via Blue Bell Stream, the first and longest part traverses some long relatively flat sections before the final climb up to The Cone at 953 metres. The hut is not far past this point. We stay Saturday night at the hut. As it may be full we will have to carry tents and a fly sheet as back-ups. On Sunday, there is about a 4-5 hour descent to Grey Road, via the summit of Pirongia (959 metres) We will travel down the Mahaukura Ridge which has several bumps to negotiate.
