Ohau off track loop unnamed ridge near 6 discs

Enjoy spring with some off track up hill training. Park up at the end of Poads Rd, Walk 2km of the Ohau track, cross the first bridge then take a steep right. Climb off track via point 295 to the 6 discs junction. Easy return option turn right and follow the Waiopehu track down to car park. Longer and harder return option turn left and follow the six discs route down to the Ohau river and return via the Gorge track. Seven to Ten km quite a short day but rough and steep in places. Route decisions will be made on the day depending on weather, terrain, and how the group is doing.
There will be supplejack and scrub to push through on the unmarked ridge. Carry a whistle at all times on all trips. I will be driving to Poads Rd from Paraparaumu and happy to give up to four people a lift from the railway station at 9am. You must let me know via the comments section if you want transport. Otherwise see you at Poads Rd 9.30am.
