Bay of Plenty Moerangi MTB

This 2 day long walk can be done in either direction and, as described was done starting at River Road as this giving a hard first day of around 14km, however it does mean that the second day is longer at 21km. Three huts are passed so there are ample stop-over opportunities. If necessary the one-overnighter described can be extended by staying in say Rogers then Moerangi Hut – or vice versa if travelling in the opposite direction. The track is a shared MTB–walking track and is a relatively easy walk as it is well graded, wide and easy to follow as it passes through very lush forest with good birdlife. Blue duck are often heard and seen, Kaka keep doing fly-overs and smaller birds such as Tom tits often come calling.
