From the Ahuroa - J Tolhopf Road intersection, Head south 1 km down J Tolhopf Rd (metalled then sealed) until you pass a rural residential subdivision, then reach a widened area of sealed road with angle parking. Climb the slope directly above, and cross the stile to begin the track. 

From this bushline, follow orange markers across and through part of Dunn’s Bush (a QEII reserve, with loop tracks back to Ahuroa Rd) until you pass the “Sugarloaf” rock formation. A stile is in place if you want to climb up to this very peaceful & picturesque spot with beautiful views across the valley and out to the coast.
Otherwise keep heading SE on the marked ridge through farm paddocks & over stiles to Remiger Rd.

(From here, it’s a 4 km walk down Ahuroa Rd to the village of Puhoi. Te Araroa Trust is trying to negotiate access on the other side of the river, but this is  not yet concluded.)
