    Hey Guys, Im heading to Waipawa at the end of the month to pick up a pup . Never been to this part of the country before as Im a Northlander but always wanted to have a hunt as the country looks amazing. Can anyone help out with access point with safe parking . I have a few days and dont mind covering abit of ground. Will post up a report also on return . Im picking up a Vizsla pup when I come out and cant wait. cheers for any help. Boylo

    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.

    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!

    No worries Boylo

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