We recently had our second tramp in the Pouakai ranges of Taranaki.
Jake was ready with his seedy version of Rhy's fanny pack, Kayden ready with his trusty pack, Max all prepped for anything, and the girls fired with with the most positive attitudes.
This trip was somewhat different, with plenty of sunshine and no rain at all. It did take them 20 minutes to workout how to leave the carpark, but once we set off they were off.
Day 2 saw plenty of steps, so up we stepped to Henry peak then a quick bush bash mission down at Pouakai hut to earn a chocolatey treat.
We then did a mission into the gorge of Bell's Falls but couldnt get to the lip, so since we weren't wet enough Georgea and Taylor decided we might mission up the creek back to the hut. Great mission.
They all set up their tents and bivvy's in the light wind after a little bit of lip dropping when they found out we had to walk back the same way from Bell's Falls
The last day saw some good walking times and excellent navigation, and some good old fashioned rock throwing.
Here's some pics.
