Trail running – my last trail run on the last day of 2019 in Kaimai Range.
Trails: Franklin Rd end car park – Dean Track – Mangakino Pack Track – Turn to Waipapa Track from the junction of Mangakino Pack Track Siding which goes to Tui Mine – Waipapa Track – Waitawheta Hut – Waitawheta Tramway Track – back to car park.
Caution: The section of Mangakino Pack Track after the junction of Daly’s Clearing Track was not well maintained hence wild and need good navigation skill while some huge fallen trees and land slides destroyed the track, you need find the right track back again and again and again!
Car Park: Yes
Toilet: No
