Catchpool Valley Road, Eastbourne, Lower Hutt City

Mount Mathews Track

Lower Hutt City Walks

Starting from the Catchpool Stream in the Rimutaka Forest Park the return trip to Mount Matthews in the Orongarongo Valley, takes about 5 hours for a moderately fit person. It is very steep in places, but not difficult. Mount Matthews is 941m high and has 2 summits, one slightly lower than the other.

Tom comments: I think 5 hrs return is optimistic. Perhaps 5 hrs from the car park (Catchpole) is more realistic. Duncan comments: Tom is right, it is about 5 hours one way from the catchpool carpark to the top of Mt Matthews, ie 10 hour return trip.
