Porirua Council have built a new route to the top of Colonial Knob - Te Ara Utiwai.  No longer must we charge up 1.8km of steep steps.  Instead we have 6.1km of steady graded trail to the top.  The map of the climb shown below is indicative only.

Once up the top, we'll head to the radio mast before returning to Camp Elsdon through the Spicer Botanical Park.  A 12.6km loop in total.
