Oh so beautiful, magnificent scenery! I saw what looked like a wild cat in the highlands of the Motatapu Alpine track, behind you. huge effort climbing very steep slopes!!
What beautiful country Jared (until you get to the weird alleyway entry into Q'town)! I have never tramped in that sort of country, but it reminded me of nassella tussock grubbing days in North Canterbury when I was at school - especially the caress of matagouri on bare legs! Lovely long views, sunny days, and excellent huts. We have often stayed at Glendhu Bay campground, but I had no idea the Motatapu Track started just around the corner.
Yes, it was definitely a beautiful part of the country! The Glendhu Bay campground looked nice - I met a few people on the Motatapu that had stayed there the night before.
@@onthetrailnz Hi Jared, was there an old gold stamping mill in Macetown, I was there in the early 1970's & there was one that had a roof over it to help preserve it?
Hi, there were signs saying there were a few stamping batteries further up the valley a bit. I think the closest one was about 20 minutes each way from where I was in Macetown, so I decided just to continue!
