Well quite a few people have been asking when I'll be in their area, so I've put together some docs that show this. Of course, this can only be tentative..I'm sure they'll be one or two...(or more!) unanticipated delays and so don't hold me to sticking exactly to it!

For those that like statistics, I'm hoping to take around 145 days, of which 129 (sounds precise aye?!) will be actually spent on the trail. This is 3,008km long (2015 official route!), so I think it should take me around 4.6 million steps...This also happens to work out at around one step for each New Zealander! I'm thinking of taking a pedometer and maybe should run a sweepstake to the closest estimate??!!

For those that just like the highlights, here's the simplest version:






For those that want a bit more detail, click here for a pdf version that shows where I currently aim to be  each day.

For those that really want to walk (but can only do so vicariously) and have access to Google Earth, my planned stages can be viewed here....And finally, when I get around to it, I'll try and get around to posting a gpx file with all my planned stops...and the unplanned backup ones, before I leave!

Ano,
Rach

    Te Araroa 
    is New Zealand's trail. The 3000km route stretches from Cape Reinga in the North of New Zealand to Bluff in the South and was officially opened in December 2011.

    I am tramping the trail, North-South, starting in November 2015 and finishing in March/April 2016. I hope to raise awareness of the great work done by the Multiple Sclerosis Society and also to raise some funds for them.

    I will be carrying my own tent and supplies but I would very much appreciate any help that people could give me e.g.:
    • Food drops
    • Join me on sections on the tramp
    • Donate any food or equipment before I leave
    On the left you will find blog posts describing the trails, tribulations and triumphs along my journey.

    I'm currently en-route from Cape Reinga, the northern end of my (walking) journey. The end will be 3,000 km (1,860 miles) to the south.
