Itinerary description

This is a short stroll, less than 3 kilometres, around Sugarloaf summit. The track starts at the parking next to the Sign of the Kiwi cafe. Crossing the road you find the circular track that you can take in either way. I did it clockwise and pretty soon you see the antenna at the summit.
After less than one kilometre you get to the parking at the upper side where you will find a closed gate that takes you to the summit. You are very close to the summit but since this is private property you are not allowed to get to the top.
Continuing on the track we get to another car park where we make a right turn to head back to the Sign of the Kiwi cafe. On this side you have nice views of the Governors Bay.
