Hunua Farm Track

Meet at the carpark outside the Upper Mangatawhiri Campsite. Be warned that the road there is a gravel road with lots of corrugations. Keep as far left as possible on all blind corners.

If anyone wants to join me I will be riding in from the Wairoa Dam carpark on Otau Road. Leaving at 9.00am Reasonable fitness and an E-bide is required. In this case total distance will be 30km and elevation gain 650m.

The Farm Track is the easiest of the Hunua tracks. Most of it is fairly easy. It still would be classed as a grade 3 mountain biking track. We might miss out some of the slightly harder sections. Also there are options to quit and return by road if people are finding it too difficult. Its a nice ride amongst the trees and bush.

There is a shelter with seats and tables at the turning point which will be ideal to eat the lunch and drinks you bring.

Strava picture below includes River Track which we won't be doing, but gives an idea of the route.

Distance approx 17km
Elevation gain 300m
