South Wairarapa Tramping Club

On a recent SWTC trip Stan Smith, Ed and Juliet Cooke, Carol Major and Bruce and Mary Lambert started from the end of Kiriwhakapapa Road. They report: ‘After a stop for smoko we carried on to the rock at the top at where we usually have lunch in the sun. However, a cold wind was blowing and the mountains were shrouded in cloud; so we didn’t hang around but headed for Blue Range Hut for lunch. On the way back, the wind wasn’t as cold below the Cow Creek turnoff. We took a short detour to bypass a slippery clay section at the bottom and got back to our cars in early afternoon.’
