Twin Peaks Track to Huia Ridge Track to Karamatura Track loop
It's true. I was tramping same time. But I was far behind.

Issue: Some visitors complained that this track's "Total Time" may mislead readers. As I said in page http://nztramper.com/tramping-track-difficulty-rating/ this is a Private tramping blog. The "Total Time" is MY TIME. I did this loop in 4hrs 20mins with Jason and Fay at 12, Jan 2013. In January, track is dry and we ran down the hill. If in winter, must be longer than 5hrs! I've done this same loop without side track many years ago about 5.5hrs in winter. For most people without much tramping practice, 7 hrs is normal.
Wow! This can be one particular of the most useful blogs We’ve ever arrive across on this subject. Actually Wonderful. I’m also a specialist in this topic therefore I can understand your hard work.
Thanks! I am on cloud 9…
