This walk is becoming more and more popular. Alex Knob- Westland Tai Poutini National Parkġ303 meters | 1200 m change | 17.2 km return | 8 hour return Although not as warm, the Abel Tasman track would be a better option for winter walking. I’ll have to revisit that though to include tidal crossings and my definite need to take photos! I’m tossing up doing this track in the winter and possibly trying to do the Tongariro Crossing before the middle of April. I don’t have all the details figured out just yet but I think we could do it in 3 nights/4 days.
I’ve had this hike on my list for ages! This track has completely different scenery than usual hiking and I am here for it! I’ve also done very few overnighters so I think this would be an awesome introduction! To smash out! Abel Tasman Great Walk- Abel Tasman National Park Mount Somers (south face)- Mt Somers Walkways- 1688 meters | 1077 m change | 9.4 km return | 7-8 hour return.Mt Roy/ Roy’s Peak– Wanaka- 1578 meters | 1258 m change | 16 km return | 5-6 hour return.I’m not much of a planner which is probably why most of that mental list did not get checked off and as the saying goes, “those who fail to plan, plan to fail.” So here I am attempting to plan so I can check these trips off my hiking bucket list! There are quite a few tracks away from home that I’d love to get to but also some closer to home that will be a good alternative if the weather isn’t playing part in other areas. I know I have– I’ve had the Abel Tasman great walk on my list for at least a year! Might be a bit deep for the realm of hiking but how many of us have said for years that we’ve wanted to do a certain track. Any other goals are just added to the list in my head thinking, I’d love to do this track or stay at this hut.Ģ021 no doubt has sparked something inside a lot of us which is, life is short, do what you love. Abel Tasman was the one of choice which did not happen. With a new year here, it of course means there are new hiking goals to smash out! The only hiking goal I made at the beginning of 2021 was to do a great walk.
