Pakiri to Nowhere In Particular

Km 493 to km 507 - via Te Hikoi O Te Kiri track
Woke to yet another beautiful morning, but it didn't last. Had ice cream for breakfast (mum wasn't watching). Cloudy and windy by the time we hit the hills. A continuous rise to 450m through thigh high kikuyu pasture then scrub and forest. Got a great view north back to Whangarei Heads, which we climbed 4 long days ago, and a great view south where we could see Rangitoto Island in the distance, maybe a week away.
Passed the 500km mark at the top of the hill and had a drink of water to celebrate. Just 2559km to go!
Walked past the alien detection station at the top of the hill, then dropped a couple of hundred metres (down and up and down and up) and wandered 7km to tonight's campsite.Læs mere
