Hiking the Waitakere Ranges


While the summer was reserved for all kinds of beach-related activities, now the time has come to run around in the bush, i.e. to go hiking! Unfortunately, New Zealand's notorious wet weather makes that a rather muddy experience this time of the year. The Waitakere Ranges are a prime destination, with their being quite near and offering the complete bushwalk experience. Mental note to myself: Never Again Forget Taking a Torch! Last time darkness caught me as I ran too deep into the forest, forgetting about the time. Got lost, too, but that just makes things more interesting, I think.
