Gillespies Pass - AKA the Young-Wilkin River Circuit
Amy and I had planned to do this tramp over the Easter weekend continuing a long-standing tradition of mine of spending stat days in the bush...unfortunately with the weather against us I was forced to go kayaking, what a shame!
After a couple of days on the river (Okuku and Kakapotahi) we headed south to begin our adventure.
This tramp is easily one of the best I have done in NZ; great tracks, superb scenery and a great sense of isolation! Check out these pics and let me know what you think...
46km by track, 20km by river, 2000 vert m of climbing, 4 days, three river crossings (only one serious - Makarora), 2 huts and one hell of an adventure!
