An easy undulating out & back run amongst regenerating native bush, turning around at the junction/crossroads of 2 much tougher options. You could either bear right to carry on along the TA trail onwards to Whananaki, or head further down & up & down etc along more technical terrain to the Puriri track & other abounding options at Mimiwhangata.

Staying Safe
Easy.
Very patchy.
Whistle, First aid kit, Extra food for emergencies, Cellphone, Map.
BYO! I wouldn't risk topping up from the creek, due to DOC's predator pest control poisoning operations.
Can get slippery after rain
Slippery clay & sneaky tree roots!
