Description

Double/farm track that's an option for climbing back up to the water tanks after descending Te Ihu. A non-technical walking/running track compared with others in the park which have more exposure and technicality. For riders some sections are very steep and all but the fittest may prefer to get off and push or take a breather, particularly the rutted and lumpy final climb. It crosses the descending Te Kahu track near the top, so watch for riders heading downhill at pace. From a riding perspective, due to the steepness, traction, and state of the surface in places it's more of an intermediate track compared with other green trails in the park like Chambers Walkway.
