No worries. Follow Taharua Rd till you get to the Porinui gate (don't go through it if it's open lol)... you have to walk the rest of the way. There is a paper road going through Porinui, it in itself is a poled route. Just follow it. You will come to a gate in some scrub just above the river. This is where you leave Porinui and enter Maori land. Follow the track down hill and cross the river. You can't miss the poled route. Unless its at night and foggy... but I put some reflector stickers up when I went through for when it happens to people.

Ah Carbine remember you from the range now

chur bro will head in there this weekend headed in te iringa not last weekend but weekend before and had some stags single callling but busted by 30knots of swirling sou'wester. Plus im hoping theres some good bush over this side. Looks like i need a mountain bike and just stash the bugga at the river, save me abit of huffing and puffing and afew hours walking.
