    That was some straight up ghetto shit.
    Must be a fkt-up ghetto. I always thought the mofo's were vegan.

    Don’t forget as well that the block borders farmland, if you venture down that hill side you’ll find game trails everywhere.

    I did. Scared the shit out of me in the pitch black. Dodgy as fuck.

    The edge of the gully and steep bit seemed quite productive though.

    Year guys whatch out for those bluffs on the Waikato side! But you will find plenty of whitey wood and broad leaf on those evening sun faces.
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    I once took a “short cut” by going down the creek that you cross as you leave the farmland, right from the top. Never again.

    Yes going down a creek in the Kaimais got the feckin Tshirt and I'll join you in that never again club. Always packed 50meters of 10mm cord after that just for the bluffy sections. Good map reading skills are a must. You get down one and might think ok cool that's down and end up stuck because there's a shit load more and can't get back up. In the end I mostly try left our right first before deploying the rope

    Up the ridges. Down the creeks. Sideways into bluffs and sliding down waterfalls by the sounds of it

    Haha been there, done that. Never plan on going down any creeks in the kaimais. Sooner or later they turn into waterfalls, walls narrow in, and supple jack trys to strangle you to death.

    I never plan to do so ever again either.

    Same with the logging tram lines right or do they just disappear at some point in the northern part. And run across the ranges.?

    I have never encountered one but I go the middle bit not te aroha or hurunui in the southern part.

    Looks like a rub to me. I didn't notice any around the area I went to.

    Nah grooves are too deep and consistent to be a rub.

    I have pics of the same but from the hills in Te Puke
