Description
Start at the carpark as marked. Head left along the main road for a short distance before turning right onto Cheviot Road. This turns left then right again - follow it to the end. Here the single track starts. Follow it uphill, keeping right at two junctions, signposted to "Main Ridge Track". Once you reach this the main amount of climbing is behind you and the track undulates along the ridge with beautiful glimpses of the harbour out to the right.
At the next junction you can either keep left and continue to the Mt Lowry trig point itself ( a further 800m or so), or head back downhill on the right-hand track. If you go to the trig point turn around and come back the same way. Follow the track steeply downhill over rooty broken ground. Eventually you pop out on Kaitawa Road - turn left down onto the waterfront the right along the main road back to your car.
