The classic CYC Tramping Camp is back again in 2012.
4 days of getting away from txt’ing, emails and facebook is just the ticket to a relaxing time away. Off course you will need to carry all your own clothes and sleeping gear – so don’t bring the kitchen sink with you!!!! Get into the outdoors – away from cellphones, tv and computers – learn about navigation in the bush, bush-craft and cooking your own meals in the great outdoors.
We are going to tramp up the amazing Hopkins and Huxley River valleys. Sometimes tenting sometimes in huts.
– Tramp up the Hopkins past Monument Hut to the Huxley River valley. From here we tramp up the Huxley to the Huxley Forks.
– The first night we will stay at the Huxley Forks.Day Two:
– Day Tramp up the north Huxley river branch to Broderick Hut and depending on the weather Broderick Pass
– Tramp back down to the Huxley Forks camp-site for the night.Day Three:
– Tramp back down the Huxley River valley and do a river crossing of the Hopkins across to Red Hut.
– Stay the night at the Red Hut camp-site.Day Four:
– Cross the Hopkins River again and back to the vehicles.
