2.8 Peaks Dunedin

From Bethunes Gully head up to the Mt Cargill walk, the track is in good condition and mostly runnable with ~580m climbing in just over 4km.

From the Mt Cargill summit head down the gravel road, the turn off is very hidden with a small pink ribbon (likely to disappear) in overgrown vegetation, best to be using navigation to find this. If you miss it, it looks like you can connect the tracks again with the forestry road on your right further down the hill. The track is overgrown and you'll bash through a few bushes but it's all runnable and eventually you'll pop out on a forestry road, turn right and follow this for a few km.

Eventually you'll come to a bit of a clearing with some big pylons and there's a track on your left; this is muddy, technical and covered in a few thorny things but again you can run a chunk of it and once you embrace the mud it's good fun with interesting boardwalk set ups. Stay right and carry on to the motorway.

From here things get easier to navigate. Run up the Leith Saddle Track, then connect to the Swampy Ridge Track before cutting down the Pineapple Flagstaff track to get back to the road.

Head down Leith Valley and up North East Valley to get back to Bethunes Gulley, now you're off the hills push the pace on that flat stuff to finish strong.

Pop into the Bagel shop, Adjo, or Crusty corner on your way out of the valley to refuel.
