Take Northbank Road, off SH6 on north side of Wairau River, ca 2 km north of Renwick. After ca 3 km take Briggs Road before Onamalutu Domain, then right again into Davies Road, and carry on to the car park. DoC permit required; contact Renwick DoC office. |
Description |
From the carpark, the walk starts as a fairly easy stroll along the flank of the slope above the flats. After a kilometre and half, however, the track splits, offering the choice of a clockwise or anti-clockwise circuit. Either way involves some stiff climbing, though perhaps the anti-clockwise route is sllghtly easier. And whichever way tyou choose, at least you know that it's downhill most of the way home! |
