West of the Whirinaki Hut turnoff, it’s downhill to the roadend (heard that before!), a barely noticeable sidle down the valleyside. Sadly major windfalls interrupt the easy going with tangled scrambles.

Suddenly, about 800m before the road, the bush ends, and we’re on a sandy track – a water-cut canyon through solid scrub. In this vein, it drops for a few hundred meters more to the creek, climbing briefly and emerging onto a sandy 4WD track: the roadend. The former Pakahunui hut is no more.
