The Karamu Walkway winds across farmland. There are several markers - orange triangles and white posts which guide the way. Wonderful views in all directions from the high points.
About 4.3km in the original GPX route, it makes an obvious wrong turn going a few hundred metres then backtracks. This may catch out those who are following the orange markers. Also on the way back just after that point, detour down the farm track, not the orange polled route.
Limestone bluffs.

Great track. A bit of variety but mostly through farmland. Great views. Beware in summer there is little shade. Most of it exposed and hot. There are some steep bits of clay as other reviewers noted that would be spicy if wet. Some choose your own adventure bits accross very thistley paddocks though a more obvious path was found on return. Some sections accros paddocks were a bit pock marked and so ankles beware.

This was a low score because I could not finish the trail, and have no idea what 2/3 of the track was like. About 2km in on the uphill section there is a cabbage tree across the track, and we could see no easy safe way through. This trail has reportedly been run this year though; I would love to know the trick to that tree - perhaps you need to be tall to be able to take a first step up?! Either way, can the next person who goes up here please take a chainsaw or machete! Frustrating adventure but an adventure nonetheless.

This is a neat trail with a good variety of terrain. Bush, paddocks, hills, good views and the odd feral goat. Lots of fun.
