Blue Range Circuit Labour Weekend 21-23 October
This was a repeat of a trip we did at Labour Weekend 2020 – a circuit from Kiriwhakapapa campsite north of Masterton, to Blue Range Hut, Cow Creek Hut, Waingawa River, Mitre Flats Hut, an untracked route over the southern Blue Range, and the Mikimiki track back to Kiriwhakapapa.
