Our longest walk in N Z so far. About 10 km - up to the hill top Observatory and back the longer gentler way. We followed instructions from a local leaflet.
The only map we needed on a fine summer day was the one in the picture. The tracks are clear, well signed when they diverge, and easy to walk along. I had the photo on my camera - just in case!

So - 333m of ascent - must be around 1000ft.
