Battle Hill, Wellington, New Zealand

Loop around the northern part of the farm, including a climb to the summit of Battle Hill.

Intermediate

Bike and Foot

After sharing the first 0.1km of track with the Wetlands Walk, head up the steep hill to the left. The tracks shares another short section with the Wetlands Walk before continuing up to the summit of Battle Hill.

You'll have to find you own way up the last 0.1-0.2km to the summit, as the track isn't well defined. The summit of Battle Hill provides nice views over Transmission Gully and the surrounding hills.

From the summit, drop back down to the track then along a ridge that drops quite steeply towards the farm buildings.

At the bottom of the hill, either follow the track around to the right, through the bush and onto a gravel road, or go directly across Abbott's Field to the farm buildings and car park.

Follow Transmission Gully to the track start at a sign-posted intersection part way up Gas Line Ridge.

The track ends at the northern side of the car park.
