A couple weeks ago, had a great experience on what is arguably Aotearoa's most stunning #GreatWalk, the #RouteBurn... We got to know some keas and some lovely fellow trampers pretty well. And got very wet on the last day. Hanging out for the next #TrampingAdventure!

For those not familiar with it, here's the tramp: https://www.topomap.co.nz/NZTopoMap?v=2&ll=-44.72366,168.17885&z=14 - thanks to the failed (due to failing web infrastructure) DOC #GreatWalk 'hut release' for the coming year last Wednesday has been postponed, so you can try your luck booking huts when they need decide to 'release' them (presumably once they've replaced their proprietary AU-based booking system suppliers. Here's hoping).

@jimt yeah, it's a bit mad. Wouldn't be easy in bad weather, that's for sure.
