Way before we start thinking about control sites we want to get a good idea about the terrain - what is possible, what is difficult, are the tracks still there - where is the inpenetrable scrub.
Greg and I set oout on Sunday to begin. We probably ticked off about 5 square km of the 200 available to us. Found a new track along a ridge - and the wondered if we could link up the ridge to the vallies on either side. Yes and no was the answer. One vally had very straight forward access via tracks and spurs - And on the other side? You want to pick your spur. We tried one and found it was full of Kei Kei and Suplejack - took about an hour to descend 300m! But then again the next one over took just 20 mins to go back up. Will try and make sure we mark that area of scrub as slow going.
