  • Daywalk: Racing around Kapakapanui

    Following the recent daywalk around Kapakapanui, I went back to Waikanae this morning because I was keen to find out how quickly I could do it. I didn’t get many photos this time, except for ones to record timestamps, since I was in a bit of a hurry. I already had a heap during the last trip, and I tend to find photos a bit boring when they don’t involve people. I won’t bother explaining too many details of the track in this report, since I think I did that in my previous post.

    Date: 10th November, 2007
    Location: Tararua Forest Park, Ngatiawa Road-End.
    People: Just me.
    Huts visited: Kapakapanui Hut (0 nights).
    Intended route: Start at the road-end, follow the loop track clock-wise up to Kapakapanui Hut, continue to Kapakapanui Trig, then continue back down to the road-end. Walk very fast.

    I’m calling this a daywalk, which is usually is, but I’m not sure if it still counts if it’s walked in three hours.
