Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (28–29 March 2013), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
The descent is a reasonable route. Some areas of regrowth around the 1000 m mark, but mostly good travelling. A bit of windfall on the short flat section at the bottom.
