I took part in an organised charity walk through the Gorge along the railway tracks with my orienteering friend Robyn Davidson. The 8km walk took two hours including many photo stops. Altogether about 1500 people did this walk.

| We were taken by bus from Ashhurst Domain to the Woodville side. One of the many shuttle buses on the Manawatu River Bridge. |

 |
| One of many slips visible from this side. This is not the BIG slip! |
 |
| Entering the first tunnel - torches essential! |
 |
| Entering the second and longest tunnel. It took eight minutes to walk through this one. The big slip can be seen across the river. |
 |
| Hard to see, but the Pohangina River joins the Manawatu River on the right |
 |
| A rare view of the Pohangina river rail bridge. Ashhurst Domain is on the far left. |

| Another view of where the Manawatu River and Pohangina rivers join (mid-left) |

| End of the walk, under the Pohangina rail bridge and back through Ashhurst domain to our car park |
