A 100km loop tour of the Hollyford and Pyke Valleys, utilising the Hollyford Track and the Pyke - Big Bay Route. Much off-trail bushwhacking, river wading and generally pathless terrain. I started and finished the Loop in Big Bay, travelling clockwise, but could be begun in other places, the most likely point being the start of the Demon Trail at Alabaster Hut. A much faster time could be achieved with a packraft as a separate category. See trip report for photos and a full account.
