Pauanui Seniors Challenge The Brynderwyn Ranges
Walking New Zealand|July 2017

It required a keen bunch of 17 senior walkers from Pauanui willing to try something different, ready for a challenge and a wonderful day to get this adventure underway ! So away we went.

Pauanui Seniors Challenge The Brynderwyn Ranges

I was privileged to be asked to lead this intrepid bunch on this tramp as I had done this walk many times as a Mangawhai resident and I knew many of the group. I accepted with some trepidation, which subsequently turned out to be completely unfounded.

The route was to be up the Tanekaha Track and from the top of this track we would traverse along the tops of the Brynderwyn Range to eventually pick up the top of the Waterfall Track and then wind our way back to the car park from whence we started.

So with all this in mind we set off from the car park a few kilometres up king road at Mangawhai. The first section was the uphill, one foot after the other, up the Tanekaha Track which could be loosely interpreted as a warm up for what was to follow ! In this first section the bush scenery was pretty much constant with several lookouts giving everyone wonderful views back to the Mangawhai district including harbour and sea views.
