Month: March 2020
TA day 131 Km 2739 to Princester Road (Te Anau)
34 km total 2773 km 8 hours Yeah the rain stopped but I still have to pack a heavy wet tent. My dry feet get almost immediately wet as I resume my long walk and they will keep that state for the whole day. The walk through the high grass is nice but it is […]
TA day 122 Wanaka to Fern burn hut
24 km total 2610 km 7 hours
TA day 123 Fern Burn hut to Roses hut
16 km total 2626km 7 hours Wet dday but nice track. I am feeling great today and I enjoyed the three hills I had to cross. Lots of up and down and a last slippery descend to roses hut but even with an average weather it was really enjoyable. This was one of my best […]
TA Day 125 Arrowtown to Queenstown
29km total 2677km 7 hours An easy walk into Queenstown. The fact that ride with a bike most of this track makes it interesting. It is not the shortest distance into town but I enjoy every moment of it, even the shower I get along lake Hayes. I reach Queenstown and its tourist and get […]
TA day 124 Roses hut to Arrowtown
22 km total 2648km 7 hours
TA day 120 and 121 Zero days in Wanaka
Make it two please! I went out to have some whiskeys with other hikers and the night was longer and even way better than expected. On the day I planned to leave I changed my mind and just took another rest day. The weather is good so I enjoy the time at the lake. But […]
TA day 119 Lake Hawea to Wanaka
25km total 2586km 6 hours Finally I will be able to be back online. I use my nice piece of paper to follow the track along the river to Albert Town. The weather is cold and the sunshines are welcome. The track is easy so I make fast progress. The track goes then along the […]
TA day 118 Stodys hut to Lake Hawea
22km total 2561 km 6 hours And another bad weather day. It is with an amazing sunrise and some cold rain that I start my walk upward breast hill. The road up there is easy to walk but the rain and the wind makes it a cold moment to get through. I have a break […]
TA day 117 Ahuriri River to Stodys hut
39 km total 2539 km 12 hours And my phone is dead. It didn’t like much the Ahuriri River. Guess I will have to get a new one in Wanaka. Luckily I have my printed maps with me and the track is pretty straight forward. Once up the river bank, the track goes through farmland […]
