Puketi to Kerikeri River at SH10, then down the river track, through to the east of the town and then Waitangi Forest to Haururu Falls Rd - 41 km - 8 hours.
A road walk in a gentle but persistent much needed rain, then off road again following the Kerikeri River down to the Rainbow Falls (picture), and then on down to the new footbridge by the Stone Store. Time for a lunch break with Hazel, and then over the hill and up the other side heading towards the entrance to the Waitangi Forest A hot afternoon, so took advantage of the shade from the trees where I could. Made sure to get well clear of the forest road when logging trucks rushed by, and ended up on the top of Mt Bledisloe, with great views to Waitangi, Russell, and the Bay of Islands
