On the easter break we went up to New Plymouth to do the Pouakai Track. We had fantastic weather and, although the track was a bit challenging at times, enjoyed the walk. The walk is two days. The first day you walk around the side of the mountain, through a valley and up a ride to a hill next to Mt Taranaki to stay at Pouakai hut. The next day you walk along the ridge and up to the top of hill then descend into the bush to walk around the base of the mountain back to where you started. The track you walk along on the second day requires climbing, stepping over, around and through roots and several stream crossings. It was 8 hours walking both days at our pace so we were pretty tired by the end.

I have put some pictures on the blog.
