Description |
An easy riverside walk along the stopbank of the Wairau River, that eventually emerges west of Renwick on SH63. In places the track can be rather drab and messy, mainly thanks to the rutting caused by the louts in 4WDs who always seem intent on trashing places lile this, but it still has its pleasures. |
