Greenstone Carpark (Caples track)

Hi all

I have a trip to do the Greenstone Caples track in March

I'm currently choosing a camper van. Do I need to be concerned with track conditions and fjords on Greenstone Rd in March, and the vans clearance?

By camper I mean choosing between a Tarago ($) or seeking out a lifted Hiace instead ($$)

Thanks in advance

I made a Wordle-style game for guessing NZ backcountry huts

I’ve been working on a project called Huttle - basically Wordle but for NZ huts. There’s one hut each day and you try to identify it from clues about things like location, elevation, bunks and hut history.

Would love any feedback, especially if you notice a hut fact that needs correcting or have ideas for features.

Thank you!
