Puketi HQ to Kerikeri

An easy stroll through farmland and along riverbanks. Fourth consecutive day of 25km so tired and sore. Easy walking was welcome.
A couple of impressive waterfalls, nice farmland, pretty bush, and areas of active regeneration and predator trapping.
Had a stop beside a pretty section of stream and spotted koura in the creek; great to see.
Birdsong accompanied us along the way - display calling from the Kahu, the honk of the Pūtangitangi in mating mode, the uplifting Riroriro cheering us on, the repetitive Kotare, an occasional Tui & Kereru & the boisterous Rosella.
We plan to spend a few days here to repair our ragged legs. Don's feet are still a mess after 90 mile beach and he says he's sick of walking in a world of hurt. Shona's ankle needs a bit of time to ease also from a stumble in Raetea forest.
No point walking and not enjoying it.Leer más
