Totara Park to the Hunuas

Saturday 23rd January - 37.2 km - 7.75 hours

Heading up through Totara Park I am now on the eastern edge of Auckland. On top of a ridge, Te Araroa then follows Redoubt Rd - for the moment anyway - off towards Whitford, and then turning towards Clevedon. But a welcome turn away from roads takes me onto Kimptons Track and the hill reserve behind Clevedon. With lookouts back to where I have come from, out to the Hauraki Gulf, and towards the Hunua Ranges.

Road walking accompanied by cyclists on a 100km race, and then into the Hunuas on the Wairoa River Track - mostly following this rushing wee river for 5 km before taking me out onto Cosseys Dam Road, near the Hunua Falls.
