| Mt Edgecumbe, Bay of Plenty |
This relatively small peak lies just inland from Whakatane, near Kawerau in the Bay of Plenty. The track up to the summit is a well maintained 4WD track that winds its way up the mountain to a turn around area. A series of steps carries on up to the sunnit trig from here. It took an hour to reach the summit. It was a good steady climb with great views at the top of the entire Bay of Plenty coast from Ohiwa harbour all the way to Mt Maunganui. Inland, Mts Tauhara and Tarawera were prominent with the Urewera ranges in the distance. Also at the top is a small craer lake which was not accessible on this trip. Well worth the effort.
