TA Day 94, Hamilton Hut to Harper River Camping Area, 20 km
It’s a hot and short walk along rocky riverbed that’s hard on the feet with multiple river crossings.
TA Day 90, Kiwi Hut to Goat Pass Hut, 28 km
A long day of sidling and crossings is followed by a walk up rapids and rocks on the Deception River.

TA Day 59, Kahuterawa to Makahika Outdoor Pursuits, 40 km
It’s a muddy slog through bush with many crossings of swollen rivers and streams.
