Approximate time: 1-2hrs return
Location: Turitea Road behind Massey
Terrain: Initially uphill then flattens out once you get to the track to undulating
Track Surface: Gravel road intially then gravel track
Hazards:
- First part is on gravel road which is open to traffic (although exceptionally quiet)
- Bikes also use this track
- Drop off to the river at the side of the track
- Lots of deadly nightshade plants
Suitable for: All, possibly prams but overgrown in parts at the moment, road part would be suitable for prams

Comments:
Park just before the bridge at the end of turitea road and walk up the gravel road to the right (see first photo) not there is also a driveway off to the right before this.
You can combine this with a walk along the Turitea Green Corridor (see Te Araroa Walkway Site for details, involves multiple stream crossings)
