Sunday 20 October Otanewainuku Forest – Oropi Tauranga G1+ & 2
At the car park there is a shelter, toilets and picnic area. After morning tea the Grade 1+ group will have an option to do 2 tracks.
The first, Rimu Loop Track that is a gently graded walk with some impressively large very old rimu trees and nice bush. This is a short walk, we can go onto the track that the grade 2 are doing for a short distance and turn back. The second walk is another loop up to a Trig and viewing platform. This track is Technically challenging and has lots of roots. There is some clambering through tree roots going up, but the track condition is generally good. Expect to walk approx. 3-4h.
Grade 2 walk - for the slightly more agile a well-marked route branches off the Rimu Loop Walk after 15 minutes it undulates through the forest to the Whataroa Falls. The waterfall is a popular swimming hole and picnic spot where you could have lunch. Explore this lovely stream with cascades and pools before returning the same way. Expect to walk 3-4 hours.
If time allows we will stop off for a hot soak at the Oropi Hot Pools, so bring your togs and money for an ice cream/coffee. They have a café attached to the pools if you don’t want a hot dip.
Depart: 7.30am Return: 5.30pm approx..
Cost: $25.00 (members) : $30.00 (non-members) + optional swim $13.00
