Fanghill

4WD track in the Canterbury region

Fanghill is a rocky, slippery medium-grade climb in the Canterbury high country, rewarding the effort with valley views from Fanghill Hut up top.

(1)

A rocky, often slippery climb up into the high country, this one works its way up to Fanghill Hut. The effort pays off at the top, with good views out over the valley below.

The surface is rough and rocky throughout, and it gets noticeably harder in the wet, so pick your line carefully on the way up. It's a medium-grade run that makes for a good day out with mates. Take care on the descent too, where the loose rock can test you just as much as the climb.

Fanghill Hut itself is private property, so have a look from the outside and enjoy the spot.
