"Main focus was geocaching. Drove to the head of Marsden Valley. Walked up vehicle track to the weir and from there went up the 'Scout track' to the top of the Barnicoat Range. From here along a 4wd track towards Jenkins Hill and the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary fence. Once at the fence I followed the track down to the summit. Still a good view but not as good from years past - gorse and pines now obscure some of the view. Found all caches bar one. Returned the same way but down Involution MTB track to the car." — andyc • Dec 24, 2022

"Main purpose was geocaching from Richmond Hill to Marsden Valley. A cloudy showery day to start with improving as the day progressed. Had been up here many time but recording this visit only. Not a high hill but the gravy soon started to flow in the humid conditions. Arrived at the top in under an hour but not much of a view unfortunately." — andyc • Nov 19, 2022

"Great loop track up the rush pools/dew lakes track then across little twin and dun mountain and down the coppermine trail. Great views but a very cold wind on the tops. Took about 7 hours to do the loop." — samspeight • Apr 24, 2021

"Up from Roding Water Works Reserve via forestry roads & tracks most of the way. Getting through the higher altitude forest there were quite a few windthrown trees to negotiate. It took 1.5hrs from the carpark at the reserve by the river to get to the top. (no stops)" — glennj • May 12, 2014
