The joins a farm track leaving it to the fenceline descending steeply to Remiger Road for approx. 1km to the intersection with Ahuroa Road. The bridge was destroyed in the flooding and storms in January 2023, however there’s now an alternative crossing to connecting to the original track. Continuing along the track we overlook lovely views of the Puhoi Valley and farmland, checking out the very decent Kauri tree, descending into the cute historic village by the river. The local village store does great coffee!
