The other day Mark and
I were watching the news. There was a story about how the facilities that
service the Tongariro National Park are struggling with the sheer volume of
visitors. What it boils down to is that there are simply not enough toilets and
amenities to adequately cope.
Mark turned to me and
said “tramping and hiking would be quite a good way to get fit”. I said “yes,
it would” and we left the conversation there.
Yesterday, I had a
meeting with one of my clients and he was talking about how he and his wife
have been doing a lot of hikes and were planning to do some of the Waitakere
hikes to see the local waterfalls.
That got me thinking
about how amazing it would be for Mark and I to seriously start doing some
local hikes in the Waitakere Ranges. We are absolutely spoiled for choice in
our area with beautiful beaches and fantastic walks. I found this great website
about New Zealand Waterfalls and you can look at different waterfalls
nationally.
We are going to start with
some smaller ones and build up to bigger ones. I am pretty excited and I hope
that as we get fitter and stronger that my dream of hiking the Milford Track
will come to fruition.
