Dobson Loop Track

The Belmont Scout Troop was holding a Day Tramp to Smiths Creek Shelter in the Tararuas.  It was early, Todd and Jack got up and had a BIG breakfast as the Scout Leaders had suggested.


Then off for a Father - Son big adventure.

    

They met at the Scout Den and carpooled to Kaitoke.  The weather played along and the team were able to do the Dobson Loop via the old Dobson's Hut (no longer there).

 

Dobson's Hut site ... no longer present.

Point 656. Intrepid Belmont Scouts in the distance ahead of Craig (Leader).

Marchant Ridge from Point 656. Light dusting of snow beneath the cloud.

Big Rock - Smith's Creek, Tauherinikau River.

Our amazing Scout Leader, Craig Fraser with his son Finn.

Todd and Jack returned home about 6.30pm on Sunday night.  They had both had a great day, although somewhat tired and ready for bed!
