Am doing the Tongariro crossing next weekend so thought I'd better do a hill walk for some practice so I don't make a fool of myself by keeling over ;0
Have thick socks, the last part is quite hard on the feet and knees. The colours is going to be amazing this time of the year, looking forward to your photos.
You will love the Crossing - a fabulous walk. I am meant to be starting the Queen Charlotte track next Sunday. Haven't been able to exercise for 5 weeks with one thing and another. I am not sure I will make it!!
