Te Araroa ⎸ Chapter 3 ⎸ This is what freedom feels like

In Chapter 3, I step into the raw wilderness of the South Island. The Richmond Ranges, rugged and remote, pushed me further than ever before, offering moments of awe, isolation, and complete freedom. From weathering storms in the safety of mountain huts to standing atop Waihu Pass with snow-capped peaks in view, this chapter is a reminder of nature’s power to humble and inspire. The silence of the mountains spoke volumes, inviting reflection and gratitude for the fleeting beauty of each moment. Km 1,700 to km 2,000. Wellington to Aurthur's Pass.
