2.0/5
At the start of the track was a DOC sign that says the track is closed due to slip damage.
I decided to go and see how far I can get. It was a beautiful walk but after about 1.3km there is a massive slip over the track with no way around it. The view from up there is amazing though. I'm afraid this may be a permanent closure as the slip looks like a mini version of the Manawatu Gorge slip and will be very expensive to repair. My rating of 4/10 has to do with my disappointment, not the beauty of the bit of track I could walk.
