There will be only one!

Only one route this week folks! Then again, there is scope to alter the planned route depending on public opinion on Thursday night! Meet at the top of the Northern motorway (see location). We'll jog down Waitati Valley Road until the bridge across Williams Creek. The plan is to pick up the Pipeline Track enjoying a bit of mud(!) and an essentially flat profile to the base of Rustlers Ridge. Here the climbing begins up to Burns Saddle - look out for goats on route! We'll then continue up Rustlers Ridge, the gradient easing as we approach the flat top of Swampy. Emerging onto the Swampy Access Road, we'll summit Swampy before cruising across to the top of the Leith Saddle track. From here, it is all downhill back to the waiting cars! Approx. 11 km and 500 m of total ascent depending on what watch you have! It can be a little breezy on top. As always, bring water and plenty of enthusiasm! Message below if you want a lift.
