Description
See Breast Hill on NZ top maps
The plan is to start from the shores of Lake Hawea, climbing the spectacular ridge track (part of the Te Araroa Trail) to the high point of the day, Breast Hill, which offers stunning views back across Lake Hawea and deep into Mt. Aspiring National Park. Turning south we'll then follow farm tracks and sheep tracks all the way to Grandview and south along the open tops, before dropping back down to the Hawea flats. Spectacular vistas from start to finish; a true classic!
Important Notes
Support runners need to be self-sufficient in regards to transport to the start and back from the finish. While we MAY be able to offer some assistance this CANNOT be guaranteed.
