17 October - A walk in the Tararua Range, starting at Otaki Forks. Sixteen of us in the group. There are quite a lot of remains of an old bush railway - metal tracks here and there, and our main destination was an old boiler. There is a tiny geocache hidden on this boiler which is very hard to find. In spite of lots of help from my tramping friends we couldn't find it. I will just have to go back again !

 |
| I give up - just can't find the geocache today! |
 |
| Still having fun though |
 |
| A tricky bit of erosion at the top of another slip - see next photo |
 |
| We had to clamber along the top of this slip and hang on to the plants. |
