Breast Hill Track, 3 - 4 September 2011

A brand new track east of Lake Hawea, the Breast Hill Track makes a nice weekend round trip with an overnight stay at Stodys Hut. We traversed the tops via Pakituhi Hut on Saturday, then walked out the Timaru River on Sunday. Party: Gwenn Le Mée & Danilo Hegg
