The route they took was from the north eastern side of Ruapehu to the Waihohonu Hut situated between Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe. They climbed Te Heu Heu Peak and then trekked across the snow to the Crater Lake returning to Waihohonu Hut and a dip in the Waihohonu Stream. The next day they set out for Mounts Ngarauhoe and Tongariro. They paused at the source of the northern branch of the Waihohonu Stream on their way to climb to the crater of Ngarauhoe. By the end of the day they reached the Ketetahi Hut on the northern slopes of Tongariro near the Ketetahi Springs. The next day they tramped out via Lake Rotoaira to Tokaanu where they set up camp on the shores of Lake Taupo. The Party then moved north to Wairakei and Rotorua taking in stops at the Huka falls and the Aratiatia Rapids. From Rotorua they returned to Wellington by train. The next group records a hunting trip into what is today the Haurangi State Forest Park in the south eastern Wairarapa in February 1913. There are views of the camp with Girdlestone's mother and another woman visiting. The area depicted is in the valley of the Turanganui River and the surrounding hills. Images include native forest views, a forest fire, hunting pigs with dogs, riding horses, the corpses of wild pigs, groves of Karaka trees, and partly cleared land.
