Pukenui-Barge Park Track - False Peak (Northland) Traditional Cache

A lovely spot for a quick rest near the base of a large Puriri while hiking from Barge Park to the Pukenui Main Ridge Track, especially after (or before) tackling the steepest part of the climb.  

The Pukenui Forest is a really great hidden gem on Whangarei's doorstep.

There are several options when hiking in the Pukenui Forest.  This section of the track is rated for experienced trampers only and a high level of fitness is strongly recommended for this track.

The connection from Barge Park to the Main Ridge is steep in places and meanders in others.  From experience it is important to pay attention to the orange triangles marking the trail and hopefully this geocache will help to keep you on the not-straight, but narrow path.
