SUMMARY:Kill Devil Track

DESCRIPTION:Access to Kill Devil Track (aka Waingaro Forks Track)  is off Uruwhenua Roa
 d in Takaka East, so it requires a trip "over the hill"- probably just over
  an hour from Richmond.\nThe track itself is an old gold mining trail with 
 a steep climb of approx 700 m on a zig zag track.( I presume this is where 
 the Kill Devil name came from ?)\nOn the map it is about one-third of the d
 istance but the switchbacks will add extra distance.(Approx 2 - 2.5hours?) 
  Tin Hut Shelter will provide a break after the climb. The track then large
 ly follows a ridgeline above the Waingaro River --  in, out and over variou
 s rock formations with a further climb of 100m before descending 150 m towa
 rds Riordans Hut. My estimate is a further 7km (2hrs) to Riordans Hut. Say 
 4-4.5 hours but less on the return down the hill?  (It is a total of 26 km 
 Return/8 hrs?)\nThe vegetation is mainly kanuka and stunted scrub on the ri
 dgeline, but quite impressive views down into the Wainagro River. It is qui
 te exposed to the sun and wind.\n\n\n This event was imported from: https:/
