Secret Chasm May 11

We have reluctantly decided to postpone the planned Postman's Track hike until Saturday July 6 due to the incessant showery weather. We will still meet at Rummery Park Campground this Saturday to hike up Peates Mtn Rd to the seldom visited Secret Chasm on the edge of the Wanganui Gorge. There is an amazing waterfall that will be cascading down one wall of the chasm in this weather, something I haven't seen for years. If the showers get us too wet, we can easily turn back. In contrast, once we were to begin the Postman's Track, we would be committed to finish it because the party coming from the other end cannot be contacted to turn back as well.

The new date for the Postman's track will have camping options.
