10m up Tregar Creek above the forks, a logging track starts up the face northern heading down the Snowy. This crosses a few old slips and then becomes a wide, benched roadbed - scrubby and wet but easy to follow. This heads 500m downriver, passing a few other old logging tracks on uphill side, rounds the bend in the river and drops to the Snowy. The bridge is long gone, so drop to the river where the track ends, cross the Snowy (thigh deep in normal flows and easily flooded) and scramble 10m up the opposite bank to pick up the roadbed again. The roadbed climbs the northern bank, passing an old ruined hut and skidder site, and comes out at the small clearing at the end of the 4WD Oddlands Rd, just above the Waiotauru Forks.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

From the end of Oddlands Rd, ignore the tramping track dropping to the Waiotauru, and instead follow the old roadbed as it swings east up the Snowy. Follow it to a grassy skidder site, and cut left just as you enter the clearing, continuing upriver but dropping below the clearing. The track drops gently to reach the river 400m upriver of the forks. Cross the river (thigh deep in normal flows and easily impassible after rain), and scramble up the opposite bank for 10m to pick up the roadbed again (the bridge is long gone).

The roadbed continues 10-20m out of the river, following the northern bank to the confluence with Tregar Creek. Some sections are scrubby, but it is generally easily followed.

A junction with a logging track up the north bank of Tregar is reached 10m before you drop to the riverbed. Crossing Tregar Creek you have the options of continuing up the north bank of the Snowy on an old logging track towards pt594, or crossing to the south bank for another track leading to ridge 666.
