haha the real snee rd wont do you any good. Look on the doc website, itll show you where to go.Or if youve gotta spot x book. All the road ends are safe. All the road ends have deer.

nah, snee road (s) are awesome.

As said, loads of country on any of the road ends, check out DOC and Wams for access and go for it

Hey guys , yup checked the Doc /wams site was just after safe parking info really and sounds like no issues in that department ...

Nah mate, never had an issue, The only one i have heard that has had in the past is Coppermine and have seen glass in the carpark at Tamaki (although what carparks dont have glass!!). In saying that less issues one would assume mid week.......if any

I've seen glass at Tamaki
It normally happens when I reach in and grab something from there car as they climb over the fence

yeah and then it is on the buy sell and exchange lol

Theres always a risk I guess but I wont loose too much sleep over it . Im looking at heading into Longview Hut or Daphne Hut. Looks like private land on the first part of the track into Daphne till I hit the river ... I like the look of longview tops if the wind and rain stays away. If anyone has a estimated time to the hut that would be appreciated. Cheers

@Boylo

Longview will be bloody cold this time of year , take good warm gear.

Could easily get snowed in too.

The hut is at about 1200m

If the wind picks up you'll get blown off the hill too.

Should take a couple or three hours to reach the hut.

Longview's great when the weathers good. Beautiful country. Don't make the same mistake as me and go up too late in the day, cloud comes in pretty thick. I lost the marker pegs in the tussock, made a makeshift camp in the tussock and woke up 150m from the hut. Never forget that night.....didn't get wink of shut eye in the wind/rain/etc. Bloody experience to say the least!

Cheers guys , yeah Ill only head up Long View if weather permits . Thats a bloody funny one @Nak3dkiwi Iv done a very similar thing in the Ureweras on a cold night easy to do aye.
Thanks P38 Ill chuck in the thermals and hopefully there is a fire place in the hut. Cheers Boylo

No worries Boylo

Needn't worry about a fireplace ....... It's enough dry wood to burn that may be the problem.

Carry in a sack of coal ya reckon
