I have a plan....... Need to know numbers that would be keen, but I grew up in Upper Takaka and Harwoods now owns a Station on the Westcoast and it boarders the northern boundary of Kahurangi National Park. So basically over the Takaka hill out through Collingwood to the westcoast and head south as far as the road goes. Most of you guys up there may have done this trip?
I can organise accommodation for up to 20ish more if you want to camp, charge a minimal amount to cover food and a few Beers. Head over Saturday and be there for a BBQ tea, and a few beers. Its amazing country with access to the beach and sand dunes. There are three river crossings and would probably be weather dependent. I would organise a 4WD to take food luggage and be a safety vehicle (not that it would be needed). I have photos of the area and will post up when i find them.
As a poor weather alternative they own most of Upper Takaka and rustic accommodation (wool shed) would be available there with the Cobb and Barons Flat it could still be a night away?
Its a dream at this stage, but if enough interest, I'll look at sorting a date with the landowners and start the ball rolling?
