A walk through lowland podocarp / broadleaf forest via a little used route. The quickest way to get the the Kaniwhaniwha Camp Site is by Bicycle (20 minutes from Carpark) otherwise it’s a 45 minute walk from the Car Park. The ridge that we will follow heads off from the Southern End of the Nikau Walk.  For those with bikes we will hide them here in the bush.  The ridge is not marked but reasonably easy to follow.  If we have time we will come back down the old Schofield route otherwise we will return the way we came.  We aim to get out of the bush by 4:30.

Meet: Kaniwhaniwha Car Park (Karamu Limeworks Road) at 9:00 or Kaniwhaniwha Camp Site at 10:00

Grade: Medium – Hard
