It means can, wx permitting, climb Mt Ossa and a few other peaks along the way..using Pelion as a base to do some of that.

Of the OLT if you join the track at any point you must in all instances walk in southerly direction during the booking season and you may not pass or access more than one hut. EG if a party were to join the track via lees paddocks and reg wadley they could spend a night but would then need to return via the same route. The same would apply to arm river/Pelion etc. Not sure if this would include in via Kia Ora and out via never never?

I think so. Can't see any reason why not. Go for it.

I think I will go with my plan and not ask a question of parks that begs a response I dont want to hear. We are coming from a long way away and am happy to pay for use of the campsites if required but dont see the sense in a" One Way Rule."

Now- before the final draft, does anyone not agree?
