Mt. Isobel (Canterbury)

Description
See Mt. Isobel on NZ topo maps
The opportunity for a night or two soaking in the hot pools should never be spurned, especially when into the sixth week of an epic challenge - hence the choice of Hanmer Springs as the staging post for this day. The forests and hills surrounding Hanmer are generously sprinkled with trails and our plan takes in the best of what's on offer as well as the iconic peak of Mt. Isobel. It'll be a mixture of exotic forest, native bush and open tops, so we really can't go wrong (so long as the weather plays ball!)
Important Notes
Support runners need to be self-sufficient in regards to transport to the start and back from the finish. This should present few problems as the day will start and finish in the centre of the village.
