Track of the Week #5 Waipuwerawera

The by-line for this track says it all. This track was opened in June 2018 and winds along the south western boundary of Wairakei Forest, taking its name from the stream it follows. It starts at the junction of Debs/Mr and exits onto BBC. Expect some narrow sections with drop offs. Watch for the small thermal area half way through – you can hear it more than see it. This trail is grade 4 with no easy exits, so care is required.
