A 2 day tramp that proves to be quite a challenge with ample off-track walking, a lot of wet work – both up and downstream – enough distance to show in the legs and a good hut for overnighting. Starts and ends at the River Road car park Minginui, uses sections of the Whirinaki Track, Upper Mangamate and Kakanui Streams. Day 1 requires 3 – 5:30min whilst Day 2 can need up to 8 hours – the young and fit / fast can do it much more quickly.
Day 1. 13.9kms 5 hrs 53mins +300m
Day 2. 16.8kms 6 hrs 26 mins +100m
