Kev is joined by his wife Sandy for an easy overnight tramp to the Upper Gridiron Hut in Kahurangi National Park. This is a great walk if you are new to tramping, have young children or just don't want to walk too far. The track is along a 4WD track with very gentle gradients and will take about 2 hours to complete (each way). There are a couple of options to stay the best of which are either the Upper Gridiron Hut which is built into the side of a rock or the Lower Gridiron Rock Shelter, which has more of a Robinson Crusoe feel about it with its ladder up to the sleeping platform that contains 4 mattresses.
There are lots of Weka that hang around the huts, plenty of Powelliphanta snail shells if you keep an eye out and a couple of swing bridges.
Access is via a long gravel road up a fairly steep hill. In dry weather this does not need a 4WD, but take it slowly as it can be a bit bumpy
