You’ll have to wait till I get back to welly on Monday for photos, but managed the tongariro crossing today. Wow. Awesome hike and a lot harder than I thought it would be. The downhill section especially despite being downhill, still seemed to go up a lot!
Tom, probably changed a lot since you did it. We started at 9am but was rammed with folk pretty much all the way up and down. They’ve done a lot of work to create some proper paths. Still, stunning views. Managed to see Taranaki too
Righty, finally got around to doing this:
Mount Taranaki in the distance
Mount Ngauruhoe - aka mount doom
