Either meet at 8.30am at Glen Eden Post Shop in Glenmall Place if you want to carpool or 9.30am at Mataitai Bay (beach front carpark) in Waitawa Regional Park. (The park is approximately 58km from Glen Eden.)
The longest of the loop tracks, Pūweto Loop follows Waitawa Bay Track onto Pāwhetau Pā Track crossing the park road at the main entrance and joining Farm Track to go up the open ridge-line, with views across neighbouring farmland and down between tall eucalyptus trees to a picnic area with toilets. It then joins Valley Track to take in the wetland area before rejoining the Farm Track up and along the ridgeline to join back onto Waitawa Bay Track for the final descent to Mātaitai Bay.
An easy to medium level walk (a few hills but nothing too strenuous!)
Approx 10km walking. Allow 3 to 4 hours including breaks.
