North of Sayer Hut, the last of the Waiohine River flats are untracked, but make easy travel on the eastern bank. Beyond the flats there's a 500m scramble over river rocks to reach the swingbridge opposite Totora Flats Hut. It's slow, slippery progress but entirely doable if the river is up and stops you crossing to the track.
