Once I sorted left from right, and got onto the track, it was not bad. Shame so many dogs running off lead though.

This is a good track to wander, has some signs showing the way but could be easy to take a wrong turn if you are not familiar with the area. Just remember what goes down must go up ;p (I know I know the saying is back to front) but the climb back up is a goody!

I used to live here many moons ago. Love the Waitaks, hope the Kauri dieback is going better for you folks up there

Started in the dark on a Saturday morning. Peaceful. That climb into Arataki wakes you up, spectacular views (for Auckland anyway ) and Beveridge track is pure joy single track, over too soon.

These overlap with this trail to some degree. You may wish to combine them but please note that to qualify for FKTs on these runs you should record a separate activity for each.
