Description
Start at the Repeater Rd junction, head up gravel rd for 0.8 km, take the track on the right, continue up past Reapter Camp site.
Muddy sections through overgrown track take you along and down an undulating ridgeline for another 4km with some views of the Upper Mangatawhiri Res.
The track meets the Gravel Road at the 4km mark and follow this to the north for 1.7 kms. Turn right down the hill at the junction. then take the track on the left (Ernies) at the 7km mark. Follow single track for 6km over a big climb always trending right in a loop to the end of Lilburne Rd and follow back past the dam face and up Moumoukai Rd to the starting point. Whoa!
