Description

Cross the footbridge at the end of the road and run along the creek about 2 km. The track forks. Left goes joins and follows Carey's Creek. Lots of creek crossings - you will probably get wet feet! It's about 7km to the dam and then the track climbs steeply to Double Hill Rd. Turn right and run along the gravel Rd (it turns into Mountain Track Rd) for 6 or 7km. Watch for signs on the right for the top of the downhill track (Honeycomb Track). Head down this. About 500m take the track to the left (Rongomai Track). Another 500m take the track down hill to the right. A wonderfully steep downhill ridge and you end up back at the fork 2km from the start.
