Mt Saxton

16- 20 November 2018 (Show Weekend)

Five of us went off on this adventure, which was exploring new territory for all except me. Mt Saxton, 2043m, is a peak up the northern end of Molesworth Station in Marlborough.

I obtained permission from DOC in Renwick to leave the main tramping trails, and they liaise with the station manager about who is around the station. On previous trips up the Saxton River, I encountered large numbers of cattle in the valley, but this time we had it all to ourselves which was great. And with just a small amount of snow on the tops, it was a great time of year to visit.
