Description
(North to South) |
From the junction with Cove Road, follow Cullen Rd up hill for 7.5 km. The road changes from sealed to 4WD track (at about the 4 km mark) and eventually intercepts DoC’s Brynderwyn Walkway (a graded farm track).
Turn east and follow DoC’s Brynderwyn Walkway. You walk over a highpoint of 297m then past the Trig at 276m for magnificent views in every direction.
The track continues down a steep spur, skirts around gullies, into regenerating bush. The final 1.5 km turns NE and exits through pasture onto Cove Rd.
Caution: The Walkway passes through several junctions with no signage. A map and compass are essential as it’s easy to take the wrong turning.
