Elcho Pass to Brodrick Pass via the Landsborough Valley

A great circuit that was very much plan b, c (or beyond) when the weather wasn't really looking good anywhere for an extended ANZAC long weekend trip earlier this year. There was still some rain and wind crossing both Elcho and Brodrick passes, but spectacular weather between allowed us to hop across the Landsborough River and enjoy a sunny day trip in the Solution Range.

    I'd rate it as one of the best of the year so far… no pressure, rest of 2023… 🧐

    The aurora shot was awesome. What a great thing to capture from a special place

    Thanks-It was 100% fluke (happened to be one of the best aurora displays all year, but I had no idea until I reviewed the video!)

    Great to see! I remember doing a similar trip over 20 years ago …. South Temple over to head of Ahuriri, down South Huxley, up North Huxley, over Broderick Pass and back over Elcho pass and out via Monument Hut …. Great trip …. The ridge up from the Landsborough to Elcho was gnarly in a couple of places …. 300mm of rain that day … was glad to reach Elcho hut!

    That sounds like a good variation to try! 300mm of rain… yeah, not what you need while navigating Elcho pass… we were glad it held off until after we'd picked our way through the bluffs…

    It was indeed! I was suitably impressed by this as a 'plan c' adventure due to weather…
