Two Days Tramping in the North

The kids had two days school holiday and the university is on spring break, so we went to north North Island for a two day trek.

This let us try out the gear before the longer treks. We walked six miles on the first day and eight on the second with two nights spent in tents.

We made it through quicksand and surf. The first 26 hours passed without us seeing another human. A real wilderness experience.

It will take a while to get photos up but at top are views of the drive and walk.

Our driver took us down the river to the last hour's walk of 90 mile beach. We didn't sink into the quicksand, so we started walking. The triangle and square on the second image show our campsites.
