0710 Ben devised an interesting trip across an interesting rang, so I went with him. He picked me up early morning and we headed out of Nelson.
0900'ish walking.
1200 Having lunch on the Hope range.
1355 On Lookont Range, headed along the range and down a gulley sidling back to the Hope range.
1833 Off back to Nelson, heard a Kea on the way out.
The following map shows the area.

Hey that looks awesome - any advice about how to best access the hope range tops?
I had to ask Ben as I cant remember, he was driving, I was probably asleep.
And he said:
There’s access from the dry-weather road between Tapawera and bottom of Spooners. I think there may be a DOC sign. You drop down a farm track, cross a stream, and up to the start of the track. That track can also be reached via logging roads (turn off further north, towards Tapawera – I don’t remember the name.)
