Getting started
From the intersection, this walk follows the GNW arrow post, gently downhill along the sealed Forest Rd. The road gently meanders past a number of rural properties for about 800m to pass under a set of high tension power lines. After passing under the power lines, the road leads gently down for about 500m to pass a well armed letter box (on your left), then about 250m later, the walk comes to a T-intersection with 'Greta Rd' (and 'Bumble Hill Rd'). Here the walk turns left,, following the sealed 'Greta Rd' uphill passing among the rural properties for about 400m to pass a small memorial plaque 'In Memory of Darren Smith Olympic Cyclist' (on your left). Just shy of 500m later, the road leads over a small rise to pass under some more high tension power lines and come to an intersection with a dirt trail (on your right), marked with a 'Great North Walk' sign.....
