High Ridge 8-9 December
A weekend circuit through Totara Flats and High Ridge. Saturday - Up the Gentle Annie track from Holdsworth carpark and down into Totara Creek and along to Totara Flats Hut. That afternoon we did a side trip to Sayers Hut. Sunday - Across the Waiohine River to the start of the climb up High Ridge. All the way up to the junction of the track to Mt Holdsworth and down to Powell Hut. Then back down to the cars.
