@Martin358 lives pretty close to the Holdsworth area.
He'd be worth a chat.
I looked at the DOC Pesticide summaries - 1080 being laid from mid March to first week April over the Holdsworth area.
Probably be better off giving the Rimutaka's and the area behind Ocean Beach a go.
Kiddies could find the going a bit tough as it's pretty steep terrain from what I've seen.
