You will begin a decent (yay!) but this will be short lived as after a few corners you will get to the Kanuka track on the right. Take this track and follow it up, after some climbing the track flattens out and you will see a split, take the left to continue the Kanuka track. After a short way you will reach the Kahikatea track to you left, take this and you will descend towards Market Road. Just before you get to the bottom, there is a right that will take you onto the Mahoe Track, now you are going back up and its steep! ![]()

Follow this up until you get to the Tawa track, take a right turn onto this and continue up. You will cross an intersection but stay on the Tawa track until you get to the turn off for the Viewing Platform. Take the track to the left and follow this towards the viewing platform. Just before the viewing platform there is a small gate on the right, go through this gate and zig zag down the hill, the 1st bit might be a bit slippery from the rain so take care. After some awesome views you will get to the Mamaku track, take a left onto this and follow it a very short way down and you will see a split in the track to the right. Take this right and follow this a very short way and you will reach the Tawa track again, take a right onto the Tawa track. ![]()
