32km total 313km 10 hours total 88h30 I am tired. The day started with a 10k on the paved road under a nice but already hot weather. Then the Helena Ridge track took me through nice forest of Manukas to the top of a few hills. It was warm but also very nice with fantastic […]
34 km (17 of them with Kayak rental) total 281 10 hours with lots of breaks total 78h30 Something new for today! We will need some paddling. Because the trail continues in the other side of the estuary we need some new mean of travel to cross it. I choose to Kayak it and we […]
Second 0 day for me after some 150km of hike. Time to rest, resupply, take care of my feet and so on
25km total 246km 6h total 68h30 After a good flat white and buying some Gouda cheese I went along the river to the estuary. the weather was sunny but some rain was forecasted in the afternoon. The trail went through some residential area before going in a forest on a gravel road. It was nice […]
24 km total 221km 6 hours total 62h30 Nice road walking day. After getting some gravel road under my feet, the trail went up some pastures through a herd of sheep. The grass was wet and slippery but the landscapea were very contrasted and green. Then the trail got bat to the gravel for a […]
25km total 197km 8h30 total 56h30 And now some more forest. After a hike down the road and through some mud in order to soak the socks for real, the trail continues litterally in the river. So you just have to follow the water. Of course the track is walkable only when the weather is […]
12 km total 172km 4h total 48h To get to the next forest track another roadwalk was planned. We got a few thunderstorms but as we had a short hiking day we tayed under tent until the rain stopped. After another flat white at the local diary (maybe the forth since I am in NZ) […]
24 Km total 160 11h total 44h First jungle or forest tramping track of the TA after a good breakfast and a smooth start things get but like really muddy. And also get more sense of the tramping way of hike. There is basically no path, just markers on the trees that you follow. No […]
36 km total 136 km (+4km to resupply) 7h30 total 33h Today is my first roadwalk day. This means that I won’t walk on a tramping track (NZ for hiking) but rather on the shoulder of the road. This is because the Herekino forest is closed and so there is a detour to walk on […]
0km total 100 Hours 0 Total 25h30 The title say it all. The zero days are used to rest, read, eat new food and sleeping. This means I stay two nights at the same place but can’t wait to hike on tomorrow.
