Rakiura Track Day 2

RAK0020

Saturday is a 13 km inland walk from Port William to North Arm.

RAK0021

Around an hour into it, there is a site which has two old log hauling machines at it. They were abandoned around 100 years ago.

RAK0022

One of the downwards sections on the track. Not much walking on the flat, but nothing too steep. Maximum climb in any one section is 200 metres.

RAK0023

Crossing a stream.

RAK0024

The halfway tree is where we stopped for lunch.

RAK0025

The woods reminded me of the movie “Into the Woods” I saw in January.

RAK0028

The back balcony for North Arm Hut.

RAK0026

The main entrance. Two bunkrooms and a dining area.

RAK0027

And once again a spectacular view from outside the hut. We got there around 2 pm (five and a half hours) so enjoyed several hours in the sun. The only hassle was the bumble bees!
