The McRaes Weir Circuit Track is a 2 – 2 ½ hour return track, the track is classified as hard but that seems a bit extreme, medium would be more appropriate. Follow the red weir symbol on the track signs. Follow the road to the swing bridge and then continue up the Racemans Track to the McRaes Weir Track. Then travel beside the water-race and pipeline to the McRaes Stream and weir. Cross over this stream, pass an old hut, a tunnel and continue beside the water-race to a sign that takes you back to the swing bridge.

A part of the Hiking PB Challenge is to take part in a hike navigating by map and compass on a course of not less than 15km. This area is perfect for this but you may need to go further afield than the McRaies Wier Circuit Track. To complete the circuit you will need to follow the signpost here and head down to the Swingbridge.
