An escapade on the TECHNICAL AND INCREDIBLE DENNISTON PLATEAU
Like everyone else who experienced New Zealand’s first full Covid-19 Level 4 Lockdown earlier this year, we had plenty of time to scheme on what we would do as soon as we were free.
We also knew that when that time would eventually come it would be heading into winter, but we were ready to face anything as long as it meant being out in the bush again. As it turned out, Mother Nature proved to be on our side absolutely cranking the sunshine and we had one of those adventure weekends that kept us buzzing for weeks.
an overland adventure beginning in Inangahua, a small townlet north-east of Reefton. From here, take the 4WD track from New Creek west to Denniston and have a play on the unique terrain of the Denniston Plateau before dropping down to Westport and circling back to Reefton. We allowed two nights and three days for this adventure, including travel time from home. two white Mitsi Pajeros and Big D’s Toyota Prado from Christchurch
