Beautiful Solo Day Hiking on Marchant Ridge in the Tararua Ranges, New Zealand
Переглядів 37310 місяців тому
#hiking #newzealand #alpine Nestled in the foothills of the Tararua Ranges in the south of New Zealand's North Island, Marchant Ridge can be a bit of a punisher and I've heard it called boring - but I really like it. Yes, it is hard, but at the same time, most things of merit are, right? Starting at the end of Kiwi Ranch Road, I climb through the forest and then up along and around Marchant Rid...

    I was the main witness to this case. Poor karla was crossing road in front of library on her bike walking with him she stopped in front of the car I was in & dropped her bag & bent down to pick it up , he waited for her and they carried on the foot path at to shop. Next day I seen police caravan at hall & it was like a light bulb going of. Photographic memory I told police I had seen them & identified the clothes he had on which police found a couple of weeks later. I done police Reina tent riding a bike from her place to takeaway bar & home again. We got times pretty well bang on. He plead guilty on the morning of court & police said main reason was evidence they had & mine was the biggest threat towards him. What a monster he is. I was 18 yrs old at the time. If I had known kala was in danger I would of attacked him bit she try to show me my stalling Middle of the road but I didn't click at the time. I think of karla often & still beat my self up about what I cud have done & what cud have been so different for karla. U ain't forgotten karla& I'm sorry. Luv yr friend phil

    The police went house to house including Dally's house.....if they had only gone inside and searched they would have found her alive. They knew from her family that he had an obsession with Karla and had been to her house to ask for her but was sent on his way.....he should have been the first suspect and his alibi checked and his home searched immediately.

    The reputation of the Marchant comes in part from the fact it was often an add-on to a Southern Crossing and lacking in the distant views of the open tops. Further, its difficulty was increased when it was moved off the crest of the ridge to the side, out of the Hutt water catchment. Free access was impeded at the bottom for a while. Good to see the gorse has largely reverted.
