We wanted to do the Milford track end of feb, but underestimated exactly how popular it is; it is completely booked out for the next few months. Does anybody know whether it is worth waiting a bit and hope that somebody cancels their booking?
As an alternative then, we were thinking of doing the Hollyford track. Since this is a one way walk you have to be flown out from the endpoint to avoid backtracking. Does anybody have experience with this track? How does it compare to the other tramps in the area?
And perhaps somebody here is interested in doing this track too? If so, the costs for the flight can be reduced as you pay per flight, not per person.. But actually I'm a bit reluctant to get a PLANE to pick me up, it seems a bit over the top (it would be unthinkable in Europe!).
