Gorge-ous

Testing the home-made bench. Pass!

Testing the fire. Pass!

Just another morning in NZ.

The gorge and 92 meters of bridge waiting to be conquered.

So far so good.

Maybe you can't tell, but it's a long way down.

A break in the middle.

Improvised trail.



A couple weeks ago went spent the weekend camped at Waiohine Gorge in the Tararua Forest Park, in the Wairarapa. It's claim to fame is NZ's longest swing bridge, at 92m. We had dinner in Greytown nearby, then enjoyed a campfire and a cool night in the tent (~5 degrees C). The next morning we crossed the bridge and did a short day-hike up towards Totara Flats.
