A great day to be had by the sea this Saturday at the Rak Hop. Dont miss out on the great climbing, great prizes and chance to be in to win one of the National Championships.
How to get there....
Access is from the Wainuiomata coast, south-east of Wellington city. Follow the coast road from Wainuiomata until you hit Cook Strait. Park by the ‘private road’ signs, and walk along the gravel road to the bridge. From the eastern side of the bridge, pass through the gate and follow the obvious DOC track to the Turakirae Scientific Reserve (about 30 mins).From here, follow the rough road along through the boulders, until you reach the sign with ‘corner creek’ pointing left. Take this road (which leads up onto a plateau) and follow your nose around the base of the hill until you can see the Wairarapa (10 mins). At the fenced off area, turn right and follow the wide track seaward and then north towards a large cluster of boulders surrounded by Karaka trees.Carpark.The track takes you right to the Bronx Cave (10 mins). Please respect other users of the reserve & no bikes and no dogs.
