Rainy Forest, Kayaking, and the Big City !
28 November 2025Hello everyone. We have just reached Huntly! After Russel. We crossed through a few forests, a beach or two and found ourselves in Puhoi. Kayaked down the river and was meet by some familiar faces (Mum & Dad) who took us in for a great feed and a welcomed break for a couple days. Before heading on through to the North Shore, passing through my old highschool which was very surreal! Staying with a few friends along the way, until we reached Auckland Central and then finished off in Onehunga. We then caught the train through to Huntly. As a few fellows hikers suggested jumping ahead of the Drury/Pokeno section as the trail was a lot of town walking and pretty basic so worth the skip! So incredible to see that I've reached my fundraising goal already and there is still so much of the journey left. Thank you again so much to everyone following along. Bring on the Mighty Waikato 🤙
