This is your chance to visit the heartland of the Hunua range as usually it is accessed from the Mangatawhiri reservoir as an overnight tramp, the good news is! We have special permission granted to access Kohukohunui from the Ness valley side which will give us what should be an exciting days tramp, for those who like bagging huts there may be a chance for us to visit Trig K hut. Expect about 12-14 k advanced tramping track, some road bashing, plenty of mud, tree roots and a about 500 meters elevation gain with about 5 – 6 hours tramping, you will need a very good medium fitness for this one and bring plenty of drinking water!
