Kev and Sam head to Wheel Creek Hut in the Maruia river catchment.
The trip involved an initial drive through private land before the tramp began along a four wheel drive track.
The track itself starts after crossing Wheel Creek and does not follow the route as shown on the topo map. Instead there is a route marked with orange triangles that can be followed. Although the route is marked all the way to the hut the track isn't formed in most places, so one needs to be carefull to make sure that they can see the next marker as they progress towards the hut.
Wheel Creek Hut itself is in fantastic condition and has 6 bunks, but only gets visitied by 3 to 8 parties per year.
