I had decided no more multiday hikes in New Zealand as I am going back to the States in about a month and a half and have already cleaned all my gear for the trip back. Watching this has me second guessing that desicion.
Oh no Tim! Yes, sorry about that! But remember this was back over Easter, so the weather is not likely to be as forgiving at the moment.. perhaps that will help you make a final decision :D
@@LongWhiteGypsy yeah, but I figure I should do the things I want to do while I have the chance. I am sure I will kick myself later if I do not attempt more hikes in New Zealand. Pretty sure I will not be back for a long time.
Brings back memories of walking up the Devils staircase in late winter. Can’t remember which month on the way to walking up Mt Nqauruhoe . Only made it half way up. Due not having and climbing gear on me at the time.
Lovely, thanks LWG. Having had to turn back on my first attempt at this track, I spent the next day walking the Soda Stream track. Beginning from the visitors centre, it is a super easy loop. I enjoyed it so much that, rather than walk down the road back to the visitors centre, I retraced my steps and enjoyed seeing the volcanoes under the late afternoon light.
Sorry that you had to turn back on this one, but sometimes it's better to stay safe! Yes, I have also done that track, although I think you mean the Silica Rapids? You're right though, a very easy grade and awesome bad-weather alternative!
Use to go there lots when I was younger and living in Auckland. Pretty special place with lots of amazing views. While walking though old lava fields etc.
Thanks Gypsy, really lovely dream-like sequences. HESR. ... oh p.s. i'm guessing, but there is a good chance "anon anon" is a bot, that's a lot of zpack talk.
Thanks Paris, glad you enjoyed and hope you're keeping well (it's been a little while!). P.S. Re: Anon Anon, yes I already had my suspicions, have since reported the comments this user has left. Thanks for looking out for me!

Nice hiking and video. Some beautiful views there. Thank you for sharing, and you have a wonderful week.
Thank you very much, I appreciate you stopping by! Proud to share it with you :D
Yes, you are quite right the Silica Rapids. Thank you.
Haha you're welcome :)

Glad to have sparked the reminiscence for you Damien! Sounds like you had quite the adventure!
Brings back memories of doing the crossing back in March. Definitely keen to do it again!
That would have been around the same time as I was doing this track, as this was over Easter!

Very Pretty and four seasons in one day.
Thanks Perry! Yes, weather can get pretty wild in this kind of terrain. Nice to be able to show people this.
What do you think of the scenery on this part of the track? Does it make you want to hike here? Let me know below!
One day hopefully post covid!!
Can’t wait for part 2 now
Haha you'll have to be patient!
Cant wait to go back to North Island to do that one

Yes, it's such a special place to hike! Such a different and unique environment. Where are you based Paul?

You got a good day, you must have done before winter?
Yes this was back at Easter time this year!
