Mt Mick is home to one of several aircraft wrecks in our local ranges. We left from the Waitohu road end and headed up to the Ventura Bomber wreck. Then a short climb above the Ventura put us on the main ridge for a lunch stop in the wet forest before heading south over Mt Mick and onto Tangata Maunga. From here it was just a long, straightforward walk down past Waitohu Lodge on old logging roads back to the valley.
