Geocache Description:

Is this Northlands answer to Huff and Puff? Post your times and I will add it to the page!

Short but steep climb to the top of the mountain with fantastic views from the top (well if you can see over the bush in some directions).

Posting of your time is optional but I suggest starting from the Harambee Road End if you want to post a good time.
The Kauri Mountian road end is a more enjoyable walk but quite a bit longer.

Harambee Road End

Park at the gate (S35 45.513 E174 32.845) and walk (Run, Skip, Crawl - whichever is prefered) up the road.
Sign Suggests 30 Minute to Summit, Please note that the last 1km of the Harambee Road is private land so no vehicles past the gate.

Kauri Mountain End

Park at (S 35 46.459 E 174 32.262) and walk (Run, Skip, Crawl - whichever is prefered) up the Track
Sign Suggests 50 Minutes to Summit

First to find = Pooke & Whalleyman



This track forms part of the Te Araroa Walkway.
