Tātou Araroa

Starting on Saturday 3rd October 2020, my wife Sarah and I embarked upon walking Te Araroa. From Cape Reinga/Te Rerenga Wairua in the Far North of Aotearoa/New Zealand, to Bluff/Motupōhue in the deep South, this 3008km journey will see us travel along endless beaches, through dense, unforgiving and muddy forests, across towns and cities, over and around mountains, between volcanoes, down rivers (which are also people….), over exposed and remote saddles and so much more of our rich geographic tapestry. It offers us a chance to immerse ourselves in all that Aotearoa/New Zealand has to offer.

Through our own experiences and those of our families and friends, we have experienced first-hand the debilitating and misunderstood spectre of depression, anxiety and other mental health issues. We are proud to support a worthy cause like The Mental Health Foundation to provide support for all New Zealanders who need it.
