Te Araroa 9 - Puketi Recreation Area Campsite towards Blackbridge Road and back.

 

Coldest night yet. Had to double layer. I got up at 6:30, hit the trail at 7:30. Left most of my pack since I’ll be staying here again tonight. Walked 12.5km and then hid in a bush. Waited for my trail family and, of course, jumped out and scared them half to death. We walked back together. We saw the biggest Kauri tree, seriously impressive. Chilled for the afternoon and other hikers I know turned up.

Te Araroa 35 - Whatawhata to Karamu Homestead

  19km today. Best day yet. 10/10. It was awesome. Problem when you’re the first to leave, you have all the wet dew on the grass so your fee...
