"Went to Mt Brown Hut via the Styx, climbed the hill, descended to the hut and then went out via the Geologists Creek track. Walked along the road back to my car at the Styx carpark. The weather was clearing post rain and quite nice with the sun trying to burn off thin cloud." - Mount Brown, glennj, May 9, 2018

"M. A. and I went up via the track from the Graham's Creek bridge giving the track some maintenance as we went. Once on the tops above the end of the track we traversed the ridge line through to the trig beacon high point. A detour was done down to the 1933 plane crash site then back up to the ridge line on the way to the trig. The wx was mainly good but it was a bit cloudy on the last two knobs." - Turiwhate, glennj, Apr 22, 2018

"Walked up after lunch along with a mates son and partner who were staying with us. The wx was overcast and a little cool on top but quite good. Inland views were restricted by cloud but there were good views to the west. The return visit took 4½ hrs including a few photo stops and a snack break. There were 6 or 7 others who also climbed Tuhua that we met as they were descending. The lower portion of the track has recently been cleared." - Tuhua, glennj, Apr 13, 2018

"We had planned a week climbing central plateau volcanoes, but bad weather led us to look north to Pureora forest. Beautiful forest with plentiful Kereru and Kaka. Steep and slippery climb on summit. Passed geographical centre of North Island along the way." - Titiraupenga, jojo11, Apr 12, 2018

"Up and back via the track that leaves the Kumara - Inchbonnie Road (Lake Brunner Road) on the TL of the Eastern Hohonu River. A clear autumn day with a cold easterly wind when on the tops. Saw two chamois. There is a bit of uncleared windfall on the first 1.5km of the track at the moment." - Mount French, glennj, Apr 11, 2018
