Mt Wellington tracks - approx time?

Postby Atacca » Fri 03 Jan, 2014 7:34 pm

Hi Guys, hoping that you may be able to provide an approximate time frame + difficulty to walk:

Chalet-->Organ Pipes Track-->Sawmill Track-->Rock Cabin-->Lenah Valley Track to Junction Cabin-->Hunters Track back to Chalet.

Basically it's the loop under the Organ Pipes and back around to the Chalet. I haven't walked around Mt Wellington before, and it's been a few year's layoff from active bush walking. Not worried about my fitness, just wondering what a reasonable time frame would be so I can provision appropriately.

Thanks in advance for any help.

While I haven't walked these tracks in that particular order, I would allow three hours at the absolute most.

2 and a half hours it was, at a moderate pace. Including a short detour and a few stops.
