Invercargill to Bluff!

18km 4hrs

The last day of walking!

There was not even any mist in the morning and it was pretty clear it was going to be a crazy hot day. We started off on the outskirts of invercargill heading down the shared cycle path and Walkway toward bluff. It was a really lovely walk with loads of estuary birds and plants. Being a Sunday it was also thick with cyclists as well as TA walkers.

By the time we popped out onto the road section it was blazing hot. A lot of the walkers are purists about the last day and walk every inch even if they have hitched for road sections at other times.... I didn't have any regrets passing them all walking on the path next to the road.

The walk from the Bluff sign to Stirling point was really neat on such a hot clear day. There was a really weird low cloud around Stewart island that made it look like a part of the map that hasn't been unlocked yet.

Finally getting to the end was a bit bittersweet. I'm so excited to see my beautiful family again but I will for sure miss walking in beautiful scenery every day with my awesome friends.Read more
