Burrton's Track Return

Head into Gordon Kear Forest, following the gravel road marked for Te Araroa, approx 5km. Heading up hill you will enter the reclaimed bush on rough 4WD track before reaching the entrance to Burrton's track on the R) at edge of Native Forest, this is well sign posted.
First few KM is very muddy, before hitting the big down hill which can be slippery.

You then cross No 1 stream, No 2 stream sidling along the valley until reaching the Tokomaru River CAREFUL IN HIGH FLOWS. Depending on flow you may need to choose your crossing point. You are aiming for around 50 metres upstream on the other bank where the orange triangle is.
Follow the trail through the wetlands (waratahs mark the way) exiting the clearing on the left.

Shortly you will cross the Tokomaru River again CAREFUL IN HIGH FLOW before continuing on through the bush to Burrton's site. From here you will cross swampy land, before entering bush again to continue onto rough 4WD tracks. When you reach the main gravel road, turn R) and there is a carpark in around 1-2km. Either arrange pick up from here (17km one way) or turn around and run back to the car.
The trip back has the large climb to negotiate toward the start of the run.
