Saturday 22nd April 2017 to Tuesday 25th April 2017 – We return to Egmont National park to embark on the Around the Mountain Circuit, Egmont National Park. With Matt Davison, Brody Radford, Nicole Scheid and Myself.

Probably up there as a more challenging tramp that I’ve done, primarily due to the Steep and sharp undulations (in places) and the elevation range (gain and drop) of about 1200m.

More detailed Trip Notes are currently being updated and will be posted to KAHA
