The Journey
Description
See Beuzenberg Peak on NZ topo maps
A south to north run through the big country of Canterbury's Two Thumb Range along a section the Te Araroa Trail (including its highest point, Stag Saddle, from where we make the short ascent of the day's target peak), finishing at the Mesopotamia Station on the banks of the Rangitata River. A long, tough day through glorious open terrain.
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.
