This Auckland Tramping Club ten day hike had its challenges, 60 hours in our tents waiting for the rain to stop tested everyone. Luckily every now and then we would have a few minutes when the rain stopped and we could get out and stretch the legs. We then had a fine weather window to explore a small part of the Red Hills and get out to the coast at Big Bay before the next front came thru. From here we had huts to stay in and fine weather as we made our way around the coast to Martins Bay. Once past Jamestown the views were replaced with thick native bush as we slogged our way along the Demon Trail to the Pyke river. From there a great, well formed track provided spectacular views up to the Darran Mountains and Hollyford river. #newzealand, #newzealandsouthisland, #solohiking, #nztramping, #nzhiking, #hiking, #tramping, #nzhikingadventures, #hikingadventures, #nztrampingadventures, #trampingadventures, #outdoors, #backpacking, #solobackpacking, #nzhikingtrails, #bushwalking, #wildcamping, #wickedoutdooradventures MUSIC Life of Riley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... 0:00 Intro 0:32 Day One - Chopper from Makarora to Red Hills and setup camp 1:28 Day Two/Three - Stuck in tents for 60hrs 1:43 Day Four - Explore Red Hills 3:03 Day Five - Exit to coast via the Pyke to Big Bay 4:15 Day Six - Lay day at Big Bay Hut 4:40 Day Seven - Along the coast to Martins Bay 6:24 Day Eight - Demon Trail to Demon Trail Hut 8:49 Day Nine - Complete Demon Trail with detour via Lake Alabaster to Hidden Falls Hut 10:39 Day Ten - Out to Trailhead
