Mt Matthews via Mukamuka Stream Saturday 21 November
Day walk up Mt Matthews, via Mukamuka stream Wairarapa
A pleasant walk along the Wairarapa coast
Exit stage right to Mukamuka Stream
And there she is
The south saddle is the notch between the hills centre right, Mt Matthews hidden behind far right hill
The south saddle was getting closer
Healthy nuts
A lot of active slips around
The fork is well marked
A short climb through the bush
And we were at the south saddle - looking back from whence we'd come
Looking into the Orongorongo Valley
The climb up to the next bump
Always nice goblin forest on MM
First views over the Wairarapa
We made the top and were rewarded with this view
Back down we went
Back into Mukamuka Stream
Almost back at the sea
Looking back up the valley bathed in evening light
Tents up
Now for a victory beer..wait we forget the beer...NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
A morning stroll on the beach
