Loop the Hutt Valley

Start along the Petone Esplanade and cross the Waione St bridge. Head north along Randwick Rd until turning right on White Lines East until you reach Te Whiti park. There are toilets and water available here.

Commence a steep climb directly up the Te Whiti firebreak to the ridge/4wd track. Follow the firebreak (ECNZ track) north for approximately 12km until the descent towards Silverstream retreat via Kingsley Street firebreak. There are multiple routes off the firebreak so it's recommended to keep your situational awareness and follow a gpx route.

Descend through Silverstream Retreat and cross the road to join the Hutt River trail. Continue north and cross the Silverstream bridge turning left to follow the Manor Park cycle trail alongside the golf course. Cross the Manor Park railway bridge and head south to the Dry Creek entrance of Belmont Regional Park. Toilets and water are available at the campsite. Fill up as no drinking water is available in the park.

Follow The Puke Ariki traverse (see guide here) until exiting at Cornish Street, Petone. Head north to cross the Petone Rail bridge before returning to the start.
