Mt Tamahunga

Today's route includes a trail opened by Sir Edmund Hillary

Simply a Slog

If you've got Te Araroa FOMO, don't worry this will help!

A clear day with lots of views of the trail to this point, and the trail ahead

It seems to be my lucky day as lots of nice people stop to chat

A day of many steps, and beautiful forest scenery contrasted with industrial views

We cross the river this morning and stick together for the journey along Ocean Beach

We're on the trail early for our first tidal river crossing of the journey, and bound for Tidesong

I lose one belonging, almost lose another, and gain an unhappy leg

Recovering from the tough day yesterday in a lovely spot right on the trail

We meet some fellow explorers, and get through the first trail of the day but struggle later on
