Turn right at the pink marker on a stick onto a trail going down hill through grass and bracken (marked with more red and pink tape - Do NOT continue up the Nun to the old trail).

Please respect the current owners( Select Evolution ) request that the general public stays out of the area known as Cashmere Forest where the crag is( between Dyers Pass Road / Worsley's Road and the Summit Road ). The development is expected to take approximately 6 months and the public will be notified via this page and the NZAC once re opened( as of 13/2/17, Transmitter Crag is still CLOSED to the public.
