High Ridge 31 May to 1 June

Saturday - From the Holdsworth road end we climbed up to Rocky Lookout. Then down Totara Creek to Totara Flats. Sunday - We crossed the Wiaohine River swing bridge and soon found the old markers which was the start of the track up to High Ridge via Flaxy Knob. Then down to Powell Hut and back out to the Holdsworth car park.
