Lovely trail for a good uphill blat. Exposed at the top so make sure to sunblock up and wear a hat. About 10 minutes in you'll see a track to the right - don't take this one even though it looks like it's going up. Both tracks head to the trig but the track to the right is the long way up.

Great easy run on a well maintained track. The view from the trig is fantastic.

You can extend the run by 5km by taking the out and back bush track from the top track junction near the trig.

Short run on well graded/gravelled track. Can easily be added on to other runs in the area as is only a short jog from where the Waihi Beach coastal runs begin/end. Thanks for sharing Leon.
