Young River
We head up past Makarora to the Blue Pools track where our walk starts. We may need to be patient crossing the first swing bridge and again at Blue pools but once past there we will probably have the track to ourselves.
its through the woods with a steep scramble up and over a bluff (not a long section of the walk - probably 20 minutes) and down to the mouth of the Young River where we find a spot for lunch.
Depending on the river on the day we have a choice of doing several river crossings or returning by the same track but you may want to bring river shoes.

Google now charges to include a map, and their instructions on getting a free API_KEY are too gobbledegooglish for me to bother. The normal meeting place is the lake front near the showgrounds, Lat:-44.6990, Lng:169.1257.
