Bring back the kindness
Invercargill, Southland
8 years ago I began walking the length of the South Island on NZ’s Te Araroa Trail as a means to save my life. A few months later and over 1000 kilometres of mountainous trail I found myself walking through the infamous waist deep mud of Southland’s Longwood forest almost half the man I was when I started my journey after losing 60 kilograms along the way and finding a new confidence within myself. Trail Magic is a way for me to give back the love I received on my journey. Starting in 2019 & for the last couple years I carry a 30+ kg pack into the middle of the forest a couple times a week for 3-6 months of the year to fill up my cold bins with drinks, beers and fresh fruit and more to surprise the many thousands of walkers that migrate the 3000km journey from Cape Reinga to Bluff. This is the first year I have provided a donation link as a few good souls have asked if they can pay it forward. Anything helps 🤙🏻
All funds raised will go towards the trail magic like cans of Coke, L&P, Beers, Ice & more. I also carry in a full BBQ set up and cook burgers for the many weary hikers at Martins Hut on some lucky weekends.
