Points of Interest/Notes on this walk:

Tradition has it that The Whangie was formed by the work of the Devil. After hosting a gathering of witches and warlocks, he flicked his tail as he flew over the mountains side causing this gash in the rock.

In actual fact, The Whangie was formed by the action of extreme temperature freezing rock slabs to a glacier. When the glacier began to move, it tore the rock from the mountain side causing a fracture.
