Sunday 7 April Waitawhata Grade 2 & 1+
Waitawheta Stream to Daly's Hut and Dean Track Loop
Grade 2: We start off up the well-formed Waitawheta Valley track. After about an hour we branch right towards Daly's clearing, rising 100 vertical metres over a distance of about 1km to arrive at Daly's hut in about 2 hours from the road end.
Depending on the weather and energy levels we can have lunch there, or walk another half an hour through good bush to a picnic place with views of large kauris. After lunch we walk northwards on a section of the Mangakino pack track before branching off to Dean track, which takes us back to the van via extensive groves of nikau palms under tall tawa, kohokohe and puketea forest. Then a downhill stroll over farm paddocks.
Expect to walk 4 -5 hours.
Grade 1: Much the same as Grade 2, walking as far as your want then, returning back along the Waitawheta stream,
