Woods Mill track, 1st September

2 vans of intrepid trampers started off at the very reasonable time at 8.00am on the first day of spring, heading to the Woods Mill Track in the  Mamaku range. One van was a bit late starting off due to a wonderful game of musical seats!, and we had a brief stop in Tirau before being  off again.

Spring could not have welcomed us better, with a crisp day and plenty of sunshine. There were two groups - the dirty 1/2 dozen who went on to the falls, and the wandering rest.  Both groups met up for lunch in a wonderful sunny clearing.

The track was very muddy but it had been cleared. There were lots of interesting things to see, with old railway lines, dog nails, flowering orchids and a rare gem found on the way.

It was a delightful tramp, finished off nicely with a coffee & shopping for some in Tirau on the way home.
