The longwood is your nearest. DoC online permit. U also need to talk to Lindsay n Dixon in tuatapere they issue permits for their part of forest. It's busy, but like many of us, you will only see sign when you get out of your vehicle and walk. Quietly.
Wear blaze and more blaze. Carry a torch!
It appears to be thumped hard by spot lighters so getting away from the main tracks is a definite.
There are red deer n pigs in there. Quietly and slowly is the way.
And enjoy the walk. Don't expect to come home with meat every trip. Do the hours. Eventually u might be in the right place at the right time.
