Zero days and the Takitimu Mountains - Te Araroa 3

I finally make it fully out of the mud of the long woods and take a bit of time off to do some chores on a farm before tackling the Takitimu mountains.

[@LaurenRoerick]

Definitely a cool trail.

I hope you are using sun block. Even when it’s cold, the NZ sun is brutal and will damage your skin.
Glad you survived the mud.

[@LaurenRoerick]

Always! :)

Great video. Hanging out at that place for a day or two could really help a person decide what they really need in life. It can be way simpler than we all make it!

[@LaurenRoerick]

Absolutely! :)

[@user-benjamin0958]

Awesome video, beautiful countryside

[@LaurenRoerick]

Thank you! It’s gorgeous out here. So unique

[@hikerbikerclutz8377]

Great video! I'm loving this trail ❤ thank you for taking me along for the views

[@LaurenRoerick]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@StepsbyKaatje]

Taking a rest is also important and it looks like you had a fun one!
When I see you in the mud, I always wonder, didn't your shoe get stuck? I have had that before...
Have fun! Kaat

[@LaurenRoerick]

It’s definitely an important part of thru hiking :) luckily I never got a shoe stuck in the mud but it was a close call a couple of times!

[@tangenttrails]

I followed Constantine and Magpie’s hike of this trail last year and yes indeed, muddy yet beautiful! Cheers!✌️

[@LaurenRoerick]

Right on! It’s a wet one for sure haha

[@reneduindam7317]

Woohoo! You are so lucky to get the whole Kiwi experience! It's definitely not the Hexatrek or the PCT.........having hiked it twice I still absolutely love it. Love the videos. Bet you never did wood splitting on your other trails! L8rs!

[@LaurenRoerick]

Haha it’s a very different experience for sure! Loving the variety :)

[@davidxcreates]

[@LaurenRoerick]

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Ha ha this is just like I remember new Zealand mud a lot of it😊

[@LaurenRoerick]

Haha seems to be a theme!

[@stevenvarner9806]
