Herbert Forest Guided Walks Day, Sunday 12th April 2015

Herbert Forest Swallows, Podocarp, Glenburnie Loop and Hoods Tracks. See the Herbert Forest map > About us > Tracks

A Guided walk day was held for theses tracks on Sunday April 12th 2015.

This was a family day and you could choose between walks that were easy, medium, or the lot. There was also a special nature guided walk available.

The day was not held last year because of wet weather, but although the weather threatened to turn nasty, it did not eventuate.

The tracks were in good condition thanks to the efforts of tramping club members over the last few weeks, which included step and bridge building.

Over 60 walkers enjoyed the walks  guided by Tramping Club members. Radio communication was provided by  the North Otago Search and Rescue team.

A large proportion of the walkers opted to do all the tracks with families opting for the shorter Swallows track which has a cave on it.

The large native trees and bird life are a feature of this remnant Podocarp forest.
