DAY 3: Halfway Hut, Lake Roe
Walk 3 - 5 hours
The track
is reasonably flat for the first two hours then now climbs
steeply to above the bushline. Snow poles and mountain grasses
guide us to Lake Roe Hut (12 bunks), sited at the northern
end of Lake Laffy on Furkert Pass.
Set amongst massive granite outcrops
Lake Roe is a short walk above the hut with stunning views
of Mt Tamatea.
DAY 4: Lake
Roe Hut, Loch Maree
Walk 5 - 7 hours
Traversing
along the tops of the Pleasant Range skirting a series of
mountain lakes with spectacular views of Dusky Sound and the
surrounding mountains. Then plunging down in to the Seaforth
valley and Loch Maree Hut
DAY 5:
Loch Maree, Supper Cove
Walk 6 - 8 hours
Skirting around Loch Maree with
trees poking eerily above the water.....if you can't see them
you are probably staying another day at Loch Maree! Then follow
an old track cut in 1903 as part of an ambitious road planned
up the Seaforth to Lake Manapouri, but abandoned well before
completion. Supper Cove Hut (12 bunks ) is situated on the
edge of Dusky Sound.
DAY 6: Supper
Cove, Tuatapere
Spectacular helicopter ride from Supper
Cove returning to Tuatapere.
