Battle Hill is along Paekakariki Hill Road not too far from Pauatahanui Village.We did a combination of loop tracks - the wetlands, summit and farm loops.This is a working farm so we passed through fields of lovely black cows, some newly shorn sheep, lots of noisy ducks and there were a few deer in the background.
The wetland track starts off nice and flat and then it starts to climb. I'm sure it said it was an easy track but I found it quite hard going. We then turned onto the summit track. We have been up here taking the longer winding track. This track was much shorter but also much steeper. It was kind of a hot, still day and when we got to the top I was feeling a little sick.We took the farm track back down. It winds down the hill and through some bush. It is really beautiful near the floor of the forest and you feel like you are miles away - but the road is actually quite close. The path follows the stream back to the main area.
